We'll
call
the
meeting
for
our
transportation
environment
committee
for
february.
To
order
can
we
have
the
role
please
fully.
C

B
A
All
right,
looking
at
the
agenda,
the
next
item
is
review
of
work
plan
and
there
are
no
items
to
be
added
dropped
or
deferred.
So
we
will
move
on.
There
are
also
no
items
on
the
consent
calendar
so
we'll
go
to
reports
to
committee
item.
D1
is
the
status
report
on
solid
waste
programs.
Carrie
hello,
happy
new
year
afternoon.
F
Tear
davis
and
committee
members,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
talk
about
our
solid
waste
programs
throughout
the
city
under
the
leadership
of
deputy
director
valerie
osmond
we're
trying
a
new
format
this
month,
and
I
hope
that
you
all
will
find
it
beneficial
and
something
we'd
like
to
do
annually.
If,
if
that
suits
your
needs,
so
valerie
is
going
to
lead
the
presentation
and
we're
joined
by
our
public
information
manager.
Jenny,
loft,
jenny,
leads
communications
for
all
of
esd
utilities
and
clearly
solid
waste
is,
is
a
pretty
key
component
of
that.
G
The
past
two
years
have
been
unprecedented
due
to
the
covid19
pandemic.
Covet
impacted
solid
waste
in
several
ways
by
determining
that
solid
waste
and
recycling
workers
are
deemed
essential.
Stay-At-Home
orders,
increased
residential
waste
and
decreased
commercial
waste,
and
we've
seen
an
increase
in
non-recyclable
and
single-use
disposables
such
as
takeout
containers,
personal
protective
equipment
and
plastic
bags.
G
Despite
these
challenges,
san
jose's,
residential
and
commercial
programs
and
contractors
continue
to
deliver
excellent,
uninterrupted
service,
in
contrast
with
some
cities
that
have
scaled
back
or
halted
programs
altogether.
We
are
so
fortunate
to
have
strong
partnerships
with
each
of
our
contractors:
california,
waste
solutions,
garden,
city,
sanitation,
green
team,
green
waste
republic,
services
and
z.
Web
service
providers
adapted
to
recycling
markets,
reporting
continued
sale
of
core
recyclables.
G
So
this
slide
shows
residential
single-family
waste
pre-covered
and
following
the
onset
of
cova,
you
can
see
there
in
the
middle.
The
green
dotted
line
staff
presented
changes
to
the
residential
waste
stream.
At
the
february
1st
2021
tne
committee
meeting,
the
waste
stream
has
continued
to
change
in
calendar
year,
2021.
G
Even
though
many
residents
continued
to
work
from
home
in
2021,
the
city
did
not
see
a
significant
increase
in
single-family
garbage
service
subscription
levels.
There
was
no
significant
increase
in
the
number
of
up-sized
single-family
garbage
carts
in
2021
as
compared
to
the
prior
year.
This
likely
contributed
to
higher
contamination
levels
in
our
recycling
carts,
which
we'll
talk
about
in
a
few
more
slides.
G
This
slide
shows
the
impact
of
covid
on
our
commercial,
solid
waste
tonnages
because
of
the
pandemic
commercial
tonnages
collected
decreased
by
approximately
20
percent
compared
to
the
previous
calendar
year.
We
also
saw
approximately
900
accounts,
put
on
hold
with
no
weekly
scheduled
service
or
put
on
call
with
service
scheduled
as
needed.
G
We
also
saw
approximately
I'm
sorry
as
businesses
reopen
commercial
tentatives
have
started
to
return
to
pre-pandemic
levels.
Commercial
agreements
were
amended
and
restated
and
went
into
effect
in
may
2020
and
the
diversion
standards
were
revised
from
75
percent
to
60,
and
that
reflects
the
performance
achievable
by
our
materials.
Recovery
facilities,
change
in
process
and
methodology
is
noticeable
in
the
increase
in
residue
numbers.
G
So
our
single
family
dwelling
recycling,
characterization
studies
have
been
conducted
in
2008
2015
and
in
2020.
Our
current
recycling
contracts
require
a
third
party
study
every
two
years
and
that
started
in
2020
recycling.
Hauler
compensation
gets
adjusted
up
or
down
every
two
years,
based
on
the
results
of
this
study.
G
We
believe
the
results
from
the
2020
study
were
somewhat
impacted
by
covid,
with
so
many
people
at
home,
with
51
of
our
recycling
parts
containing
non-program
material.
We're
making
many
efforts
at
reducing
recycling
contamination
before
our
next
study
in
the
fall
of
2022,
one
pilot
that
we
conducted
last
spring
utilized
this
data.
G
G
Using
the
recycling
study
from
the
fall
2020
and
conducting
the
same
study
on
the
routes
with
the
pilot
lids,
we
saw
a
reduction
in
contamination
of
about
20
percent.
We
plan
to
continue
installing
these
lids
due
to
the
success
of
the
program
and
I'm
going
to
hand
this
off
to
communications
manager,
jenny,
loft,.
B
B
B
The
empty
and
scrape
ad
on
the
bottom
left
helps
shape
behavior
change
and
keep
recycling
materials
clean
to
allow
it
to
be
recycled
on
the
top
right
of
the
slide
is
a
postcard
mail
to
all
residents.
The
key
message
here
is
what
plastics
are
recyclable
to
help
answer
questions
that
residents
may
have
about
what
plastics
can
be
recycled
or
not.
E
B
B
When
we
can,
we
have
also
participated
in
neighborhood
association
meetings
outdoors,
the
picture
on
the
left
that
you
see
here.
We
have
also
pivoted
during
the
pandemic
by
providing
online
workshops
next
slide.
Please
a
key
tactic
that
we're
deploying
is
working
with
non-profits,
using
the
promodora
model,
delivering
culturally
tailored
messages
to
a
targeted
audience.
We
started
this
type
of
partnership
in
july
2021
when
our
team
celebrated
latino
conservation
week,
a
nationwide
celebration
that
was
created
to
support
the
latino
community
to
get
outdoors
and
participate
in
activities
to
protect
our
natural
resources.
B
We
partnered
with
two
san
jose
nonprofits,
latinos
united
for
a
new
america
or
luna
and
valley
verde,
and
they
joined
esd
staff
as
panelists
to
share
a
how
to
recycle
right
presentation
in
spanish
via
facebook
live,
and
this
is
the
picture
that
you
see
here
in
the
spring.
We'll
continue
the
promodora
model
by
working
with
four
local
non-profit
profits
to
help
engage
spanish
and
vietnamese
communities.
G
The
contents
in
the
program
don't
change,
but
the
more
common
sense
terminology
should
help
with
better
sorting
commercial
minimum
service
levels
were
established,
along
with
an
administrative
citation
in
cases
of
non-compliance
with
the
new
ordinance
for
each
one
cubic
yard
per
week
of
solid
waste
a
business
generates.
They
must
also
subscribe
to
a
minimum,
32
gallons
of
recycling,
collection,
service
and
32
gallons
of
organics
collection
service.
The
addition
of
minimum
service
level
requirements
in
the
municipal
code
and
corresponding
potential
citation
create
a
much
needed
tool
to
address
right
sizing
and
service
levels.
G
At
the
republic
services
materials
recovery
facility,
they
can
process
up
to
200
tons
per
day
of
materials
placed
in
the
non-organic,
garbage
or
dry
containers
and
material
beyond
the
200
tons
is
allowed
to
be
direct,
hauled
to
a
landfill
without
processing
republic
services,
strategically
selects
loads
that
contain
mostly
waste
and
minimal
recycling,
to
haul,
to
landfill,
to
increase
diversion
of
recyclable
materials
and
from
landfill
routes.
Republic
is
required
to
develop
a
low
recyclable
content
dry
diversion
plan
to
encourage
commercial
customers
to
generate
cleaner
recyclables.
G
This
plan
also
helps
republicans
sure
that
all
commercial
accounts
are
compliant
with
state
regulations
for
recycling
and
diversion
so
starting
in
july
2021.
We
worked
in
partnership
with
republic
and
their
third
party
consultant.
This
slide
represents
the
number
of
accounts
and
routes
directed
to
the
landfill
and
the
ongoing
work
related
to
this
plan.
We
do
understand
that
many
businesses
have
been
challenged
over
the
last
couple
of
years
and
we're
working
collaboratively
with
republic
to
continue
targeted
outreach.
G
The
great
news
is
that
iwm,
solid
waste
collection
programs
are
already
in
compliance
with
sp
1383
requirements.
For
example,
our
residents
do
not
need
to
separate
their
food
waste
for
separate
collection.
With
our
current
system,
that's
been
in
place
for
several
years.
Organic
waste
such
as
food
scraps
should
continue
to
be
placed
in
the
garbage
cart,
which
is
sorted
to
recover
this
material
for
composting.
G
Several
years
ago,
we
did
conduct
a
single
family
residential
pilot
to
separate
organics
collection.
However,
it
had
been
low
participation
and
collecting
it
in
the
black
garbage
carts
and
sorting
it
on
the
back
end
ensures
full
participation
city-wide.
It
provides
good
quality
material,
it's
really
easy
for
our
residents
and
it
avoids
having
smelly
bins
under
your
kitchen.
Sink
integrated
waste
management
staff
continue
to
work
with
our
haulers
and
contractors
to
figure
out
lower
cost
solutions
to
comply
with
other
aspects
of
sb1383,
such
as
container
color
and
labeling
requirements,
and
container
contamination.
G
Thank
you.
One
of
the
statewide
targets
set
by
sb
1383
requires
that
not
less
than
20
of
currently
disposed
edible
food
at
businesses
is
recovered
by
2025..
G
G
A
regional
county-wide
collaborative
approach
for
compliance
with
sb
1383
food
recovery
requirements
will
make
the
planning
reporting
and
data
collection
process
more
streamlined
for
businesses
and
food
recovery
organizations
operating
across
santa
clara
county.
All
cities
in
the
county
are
continuing
to
collaborate
to
get
this
done,
which
ensures
a
more
cohesive
program
and
avoids
having
a
fragmented
system.
G
So
all
in
all,
things
are
going
really
well
in
the
world
of
solid
waste,
and
here
are
some
of
the
things
that
we're
currently
working
on
and
some
next
steps
as
part
of
the
climate.
Smart,
san
jose
we're
working
on
a
zero
waste
element
to
reassess
the
city's
zero
waste
goals
and
associated
climate
impacts.
We've
hired
a
consultant
to
assist
us
in
the
effort,
and
this
is
an
ongoing
there's.
H
I
was
going
to
ask
my
biologist's
husband,
a
question
about
it,
because
it
seems
to
me
that
you
know
collecting
our
waste
in
the
one
black
can,
though
it
is
easy
for
our
residents
instead
of
separating
it,
which
I
do
in
my
home,
I
mean
we
compost
and
that's
what
we
really
need
to
be
doing
is
composting,
and
you
know
right
because
we
know
that
you
know
the
garbage
is
being
picked
up
by
a
fossil
fuel
vehicle
at
this
point,
and
so
these
are
the
issues
and
then
you
know
I've
been
over
to
the
you
know
into
the
the
dumps.
H
You
know
with
my
husband
and
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
technology
involved
in
sorting,
and
so
you
have
a
lot
of
people
and
you
have
elect
you
know
things
moving
and,
and
things
like
that,
you
could
call
it
jobs,
but
all
those
people
are
coming
to
the
jobs
with
fossil
fuel.
You
know
vehicles
up
to
the
landfill
you
know,
so
we
really
have
to
look
at
the
fossil
fuel
impact
of
this
type
of
regulation
and
putting
it
into
all
one
can,
and
on
top
of
that
you
know
people
aren't
learning
about
composting.
H
You
know
what
it
is
to
compost,
you
know
and
what
what
what
things
need
to
be
composted,
I
guess
it's
all
food
waste
you
can
say,
whereas
in
your
home
you
know
you
should
be,
you
know,
composting
meat
and
dairy
products.
Well,
actually
we
shouldn't
be
eating
meat
and
dairy
products,
so
that
that's
something
that's
you
know
can
be
reinforced
about
it.
H
You
know
the
benefits
of
not
having
that
in
our
in
our
compost
piles,
but
I
just
think
we
have
to
have
a
much
more
aggressive
plan
for
landscaping
in
terms
of
our
you
know,
first
of
all,
no
leaf
blowing,
because
that
destroys
our
our
air
and
it
destroys
insects.
You
know
just
having
a
much
more
organic
food
growing.
We
need
to
be
growing
food,
so
we
shouldn't
be
throwing
it
to
the
the
landfill
to
be
sorted.
I
Good
afternoon,
council,
paul
soto
from
the
horseshoe.
Thank
you
for
that
report.
Since
we
have
the
data
and
I
know
that
it
exists,
I
would
appreciate
it
in
the
future.
If
you
could,
please
provide
that
specific
data
for
me
and
what
I'm
talking
about
is
by
zip
code.
I
With
regard
to
how
incomes
affect
this.
You
see,
you
can
extract
a
lot
from
garbage
cans.
I
got
30
of
my
education
out
of
prison,
garbage
cans
by
fisting
them
for
books
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
information
inside
garbage,
and
so,
if,
if
we
can,
like,
I
mean
fbi
fbi
when
they're
putting
somebody
on
this
advantage
where
they
go
straight
for
the
garbage
can
what's
this
person
eating
what
do
they?
You
know
what
what?
What
are
they
throwing
away
all
that
they
check?
All
that
you
know.
So
this
is
that's
why
it's
it's
it's!
I
You
know
it
doesn't
sound
like
it's
like
a
big
deal.
Nothing
like
that!
No
there's
a
lot
of
information
that
you
can
extract
from
solid
waste,
especially
with
respect
to
the
zip
codes
and
so
in
the
in
the
future.
If
you
can,
I
I
personally
would
appreciate
it
because
I
know
the
city
has
the
technology
to
do
that.
You
know
so.
Thank
you.
E
Hi,
thank
you.
I
first
want
to
thank
you
for
that
report
and
the
people
in
the
environmental
services
department
that
was
fabulous
and,
most
importantly,
congratulations
on
the
20
reduction
with
those
stickers
on
the
lids.
Whoever
thought
of
that
that
was
great
such
a
one,
simple
idea
can
generate
such
good
results.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
do
have
a
one
comment
about
that.
I
would
love
it
if
you
could
figure
out
a
way
to
have
a
bit
those
same
stickers
and
put
them
on
the
larger
bins.
E
I
live
in
a
mobile
home
park.
I
live
in
imperial
state's
mobile
home
park
and
we
don't
have
individual
bins.
We
all
walk
our
trash
down
to
the
large
garbage
bin
and
then
we
have
the
recycling
bin
right,
acro,
bins
right
across
from
it,
they're
they're,
the
larger
recycle.
Excuse
me
commercial
ones,
but
they're
used
here
in
our
park,
so
that
we
don't
have
individual
carts
on
the
streets
which
I
like,
because
I
think
that
saves
the
truck
from
stopping
at
each
one
saves
some
fossil
fuel
fuel
emissions
and
those
things.
E
My
concern
is,
though,
that
we
don't
have
kind
of
the
same
types
of
things,
so
I
would
love
to
get
those
stickers
on
our
large
bins
as
well.
The
main
thing
I'm
calling
for
today
is
to
ask
about
we
pay
56
dollars
and
two
cents
a
month
for
the
trash
service,
but
we
don't
have
any
way
of
getting
rid
of
our
yard.
Clippings
we're
not
allowed
to
put
our
yard
clippings,
obviously
in
recycling,
and
obviously
they
shouldn't
go
in
trash,
but
we
are
not
offered
bins
here.
E
We're
told
that
we're
not
allowed
and
we
have
to
solve
our
own
problems.
So
my
my
issue
is
that
we've
hired
someone
to
come
a
great
gardener
comes
and
for
forty
dollars
a
month,
he'll
take
away
all
of
our
yard
trimmings.
That's
really
pricey,
but
it's
the
best
that
we
can
do
here
to
try
to
make
sure
that
we
do
not
put
anything
in
the
trash.
I
don't
even
know
if
that's
legal
or
if
they're
supposed
to
be
providing
that
service
or
there's
another
way.
E
J
All
right,
thank
you,
boy,
beekman
here.
Thank
you
for
this
item
to
to
offer
can
dumpster
days
around
the
city
help
out
the
previous
caller
and
her.
You
know.
Landscape
trimming
needs
sad.
We
can't
do
better
with
that
issue.
I
thank
you
to
paul's
words.
Paul
was
speaking
kind
of
to
the
same
subject
and
I
was
wanted
to
talk
about
and
actually
help
better
define
the
subject
for
me.
J
J
It's
part
of
the
city
of
santa
clara,
I
think
also
they're,
working
together
to
sift
through
the
sewer
and
and
sift
through
the
waste
remains
and
see
what
the
one
of
the
new
strains
of
coven
going
around
and
that
very
nicely
brought
in
paul's
ideas
of
overall
accessibility
practices
and
and
and
how
how
this
can
be
a
time
to
learn
to
better
talk
about
accessibility
issues,
so
the
public
can
be
more
clear
and
better
understand.
J
J
I
felt,
and
what
was
going
on
with
our
sewer
issues,
to
conclude,
be
be
considering
sea
level
rise
issues
and
how
this
will
relate
to
the
future
of
the
waste
treatment
plant
to
simply
remind
us
at
this
time
and
that
you
know
in
the
next
few
years
as
we're
preparing.
For
you
know,
natural
disaster
concerns
just
a
reminder
of
good
open
practices
at
this
time
can
be
helpful
for
all
of
us
and
public
safety
issues.
Thank
you.
D
Oh,
my
camera's,
not
working,
obviously
just
background
okay
well
anyway,
I'm
here
look
at
the
hills.
While
I
speak,
I
think
I
have
to
disconnect
to
make
that
work,
but
anyway
I'll
start
with,
I
think,
to
address
jill's
comments,
and
I
can
let
carrie
be
more
specific
about
that.
But
certainly
we
have
a
much
more.
D
I
think
it's
more
efficient
process
than
having
a
container
which
is
leaving
things
in
front
of
your
street
and
on
the
same
day
garbage
is
picked
up
there,
there's
a
vehicle
that
comes
around
and
scoops
up
your
yard
waste.
So
does
anyone
want
to
give
more
specifics
for
people
who
might
not
be
aware,
or
is
that
good
enough.
F
No
thank
you
councilmember
cohen.
There
are
certain
areas
or
certain
homeowners
associations
that
put
their
own
limitations
on
on
whether
or
not
units
can
participate
and
loosen
the
street.
So
for
that
particular
example,
my
hope
is
that
the
caller
is
still
here
and
if
you
could
just
give
valerie
osmond
a
call
or
or
an
email
and
we'll
get
some
more
information
from
you
and
we'll
we'll,
try
and
find
some
solutions
to
that,
because
I
imagine
that
would
be
frustrating
and
we'll
find
some
stickers
for
you
too.
So.
D
And
I
I'm
going
to
ask
this
question.
I
asked
you
carrie
when
we
met.
First
of
all,
I
wanted
to
say
that
I
love
talking
trash.
As
you
know,
the
the
I
had
asked
before
about
the
the
difference
between
whether
it's
there's
an
analysis.
D
That's
been
done
about
whether
it's
better
to
have
two
containers
versus
one
container,
there's
a
whole,
there's
a
whole
bunch
of
trade-offs
with
one
versus
two
in
terms
of
number
of
vehicles
in
terms
of
the
you
know,
ease
of
use
at
the
at
one
end
and
the
fact
that
since
everything,
whether
it's
garbage
or
recycling
is
still
going
through
a
sorting
process,
what
the
what
the
extra
contamination
would
be,
that
would
reduce
recycling
but
maybe
would
be
paid
off
elsewhere
by
the
reduction
in
the
number
of
vehicles
that
come
through
neighborhoods.
F
So
we
wouldn't
be
in
a
position
to
make
huge
program-wide
changes,
so
things
like
instead
of
having
a
recycling,
cart
and
a
black
garbage
cart
just
having
one
cart
and
then
at
maybe.
A
separate
cart
for
cardboard
are
some
ideas
that
that
folks
have
to
consider
but
and
we'll
explore
those
in
the
next
eight
years-
and
I
know
2035
sounds
like
it's
a
long
time
away,
but
as
you
might
imagine,
transitioning
over
a
million
residents
to
a
new
system
is
quite
an
endeavor.
F
So
we'll
spend
the
next
couple
years
exploring
options
working
with
our
partners
and
then
I
would
expect
right
around
2030,
we'll
start
to
procure
new
new
bid
documents
for
something
to
go
into
effect
in
2035.
F
There
will
be
a
lot
valerie
and
her
team
will
be
very
busy,
exploring
exploring
a
lot
of
options
because
we
were,
as
you
might
imagine,
very
interested
in
the
carbon
emissions
from
the
process
as
well,
and
a
number
of
the
callers
referenced
trucks.
Our
trucks
do
run
on
on
natural
gas,
we're
moving
towards
electricity
as
a
requirement,
but
but
it
is
still
a
lot
of
vehicular
traffic.
So
we'd
like
to
reduce
that
as
well.
Right
now,.
D
We
always
get
a
lot
of
information
about
residential
and
commercial
garbage
collection.
What
I
haven't
actually
asked
about
before
or
heard
about
is
what
hap,
what
about
the
public
garbage
cans
across
the
city?
You
know
that
are
out
on
the
streets
and
parks.
What's
the
process
for
the
for
the
collection
of
that
material.
F
Well
I'll
start
and
then
valerie,
if
you
can,
you
can
fill
in
and
the
public
litter
cans
are
are
collected
and
sorted
with
the
municipal
operations,
trash
or
the
airport
city
hall,
et
cetera
and
and
then,
although
vta
and
other
landowners
may
have
their
own
service
contracts
like
schools
in
the
county,
et
cetera
valerie.
What
would
you
add
to
that.
G
It
is,
it
is
complicated
thanks,
carrie,
it's
the
ones
that
integrated
waste
management
overseas
are
typically
in
business
districts
and
on
the
sidewalk,
but
that
doesn't
always
reach
to
bus
stops
that
are
in
those
same
areas
that
can
be
can
have
public
litter
cans
for
valley
transportation
authority,
and
it
does
not
extend
to
the
parks
and
and
those
sorts
of
other
public
areas.
So
it's
usually
limited
to
the
business
districts
and,
as
kerry
mentioned,
those
are
collected
and
sorted.
F
Valerie,
I'm
not
I'm
not
sure
of
how
parks
handles
trash
cans
inside
the
park.
Are
you
no.
D
And
I'm
I'm
asking
oh
you've
got
a
vta
and
bus
stops
too.
Are
garbage
cans
by
bus
stops
the
responsibility
of
vta
in
terms
of
placing
them
there
and
then
collecting.
F
K
Well,
I
I
saw
that
valerie
was
responding,
but
we
can
double
check
and
work
together
to
get
that
consolidated
response
on
parks
and
transit.
D
Yeah
and
I'm
asking
actually
because
we've
noticed,
at
least
in
our
district
and
I'm
sure
it's
probably
an
issue
in
many
places
in
the
city-
a
lack
of
receptacles
on
public
streets,
in
public
parks
and
by
our
bus
stations.
In
fact,
we
have
just
been
talking
as
a
staff
today
about
trying
to
figure
out
in
the
budget
process
how
we
can
get
more
garbage
collection
at
our
bus
stops.
D
I
find
that
one
of
the
worst
places
for
garbage
on
our
streets
are
in
the
areas
around
bus
stops.
People
sit
there,
there's
no
garbage
cans,
so
the
garbage
just
gets
thrown
on
the
side,
and
so
I
was
hoping
that
we
as
a
city
could
help
solve
that
problem.
But
I
want
to
understand
this
better,
so
we
can
do
it
correctly
figure
out
how
that
works,
and
then
what
it
would
mean.
D
I
guess
one
of
my
questions
was
what
that
would
mean
for
our
collection
infrastructure,
but
presumably
that's
handled
separately
from
the
trucks
that
are
going
through
neighborhoods,
so
it
might.
It
would
be
a
different
process
to
understand
how
that's
collected
and
then
sorted,
because
there's
one
cost
for
for
putting
out
cans
as
another
for
the
collection
process.
F
Thank
you,
council,
member.
If
you
have
some
locations
and
that
are
particularly
problematic,
if
you
could
email
me,
those
that'll
help
us
see
what
you're
seeing
our
staff
that
manage
the
public
litter
cans.
F
Their
opinion
is
the
the
cans
that
vta
have
put
out
are
not
sized
appropriately
for
the
volume
of
trash
needed
at
those
stops,
and
you
may
recall,
in
the
last
two
years,
we've
added
an
additional
500
public
litter
cans
throughout
the
city
and
but
certainly
if
that's,
if
installing
more
near
near
bus
stops,
helps
us
by
not
having
to
go
back
later
and
pick
it
up.
I
mean
either
way
we're
picking
it
up.
So
it's
probably
more
efficient
for
us
just
to
add
some
more
trash
cans
and
work
in
partnership
with
others.
F
But
but
if
there's
some
areas
you
have
in
mind,
please
share
those
and
then
we'll
we'll
work
with
dot
and
kind
of
get
an
assessment
of
what
might
might
make
sense.
But
we
do
believe
the
500
we've
added
in
the
last
two
years
did
did
create
a
nice
change.
D
D
F
The
council,
member,
we'll
we'll
work
with
parks
and
between
all
of
us,
we'll
figure
out
a
solution
right.
L
Great
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
for
all
the
good
questions
from
council
member
cohen.
I
just
want
to
say
on
saturday
I
think
it
came
in
the
mail,
a
bumper
sticker,
which
I
can
now
attract
attached
to
my
own
cart,
which
I
actually
didn't
really
know
notice.
It
had
adhesive
until
I
was
just
sitting
here
listening
to
the
presentation
where
it
says
what
I
can
recycle
and
what
I
can't
recycle
so
really
good
visual,
that
it
got
out
to
all
residents
now
and
that's
wonderful.
L
I
also
received
the
postcard
and
that
that
was
helpful.
It
is
amazing
to
me
how
complicated
our
co
our
recycling
is.
It
used
to
be
so
easy
plastic.
Everything
went
in
the
bin
and
you
know,
and
food
and
waste
went
in
the
other.
That
was
easy,
and
now
that
isn't
isn't
the
case
anymore.
So
having
a
visual
that
says
no
clothing,
and
things
like
that
is,
is
really
good.
L
But
I
have
one
question
for
you
and,
as
we
all
try
to
be
the
best
recyclers
that
we
can
it,
how
can
we
I've
read
that
scraping
is
what
we're
looking
for
and
not
rinsing
out.
So
confirm
with
me
that
scraping
is
okay,
because
it's
still
dirty
it's
a
dirty!
Can
that
I'm
putting
in
my
bin
that
that's
okay.
E
F
B
M
F
You,
for
that,
that's
that's
wonderful,
yes,
scraping
is
fine,
as
you
can
see
from
the
materials
and
what
we
don't
want
is
any
liquid
or
materials
that
would
otherwise
contaminate
other
things.
So
if
you
turn
it
upside
down,
nothing
comes
out,
you're
good.
L
Well
it
I
it
dawns
on
me
that
if
I'm
wrist
rinsing
out
a
can
to
make
it
clean
that
I'm
wasting
water
and
then
I'm
causing
another
problem
with
with
the
drought,
so
okay,
that
that's
actually
the
only
comment
I
had
is.
I
just
wanted
to
get
clarification
on
that
and
and
that
I
do
appreciate
the
sticker
I
have
now.
L
I
have
to
figure
out
which
do
I
put
it
on
my
bin
or
my
recycling
bin
inside
my
house,
where
I
have
two
bins:
garbage
and
recycling
I'll,
just
see
what
what
we
decide
here,
but
I
I
anything
you
can
do
to
help
us
what's
understand
what's
allowed
and
what
isn't
and
visuals
are
always
good
in
this,
this
one
little
sticker
that
we
have
is
really
really
good.
So
thank
you
so
much
for
that,
and
I
still
I
will
move
to
accept
the
report.
D
N
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
I
echo,
I
think,
just
the
sentiments.
N
My
colleagues
appreciate
the
update
and
I
was
surprised
to
see
that
the
residential
trash
did
not
increase
significantly,
but
I
I
would
agree
with
the
conclusion
there
that
likely,
the
increase
that
we
saw
in
contaminants
in
the
recycling
bins
was
part
of
the
reason
why,
unfortunately,
because
we
know
we
had
so
many
people
at
home,
certainly
more
home
trash
was
being
created
because
of
that
and
if
we
didn't
really
see
the
increase
in
the
the
trash
bins,
but
we
saw
the
contaminants
and
the
recycling
that
would
that
would
make
a
lot
of
sense,
and
we've
known
this,
I
think
for
some
time
we've
had
that
conversation
around
the
size.
N
You
know
and
what's
the
correct
sizing,
I
think
you
know
kobet
hasn't
helped
because
with
people
being
home
much
more
often
that
you
can't
gauge
the
need
of
the
sizing
at
the
moment,
although
I
do
think
that
we
are
recognizing
we're,
never
going
to
go
back
to
pre-covered
sort
of
lifestyles
and
there's
always
going
to
be
some
form
of
whether
it's
hybrid
work,
environments
or
just
a
new
dynamic.
N
So
I
think,
no
matter
what
the
continued
analysis
is
going
to
be
important
as
we
continue
on
going
through
the
analysis,
and
so
I
I
appreciate
the
continued
study
of
it.
Thank
you
for
that
and
and
valerie
I
just
want
to
say
it
was
a
great
joke
to
lead
off
the
conversation.
We
were
obviously
all
on
zoom
here
and
so
the
you
know.
N
I
think
the
response
is
not
like
when
you're
in
a
in
person
so
but
but
a
great
joke
to
to
lead
off
the
conversation
thanks.
A
Thank
you.
Yes,
I
like
talk
trash,
so
much
that
I
actually
have
trash
talks
in
my
district,
where
we
pick
up
litter,
so
I
also
appreciated
the
joke.
I
have
a
couple
of
questions.
I
noticed
that
you
didn't
put
it
on
the
slides,
but
it's
in
the
report
talking
about
the
diversion
rate
and
I've
been
on
this
committee
now
for
a
few
years
and
we've
our
diversion
rate
city-wide
is
68
kerry.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about?
A
F
Thank
you
yes,
so
we,
you
know
we
average
our
community-wide
recycling
rate
at
70
percent
and
it
has
remained
relatively
even
over
time.
Part
of
it
is
the
the
contamination
in
the
recycling.
Cart
is,
is
making
some
materials
just
unrecoverable,
and
so,
as
we
as
you
know,
jenny
and
valerie
lead
that
outreach
effort
around
no
food,
no
liquids
we're
seeing
that
you
know
in
some
areas
of
town.
F
We
are
seeing
an
impact
on
that,
and
certainly
you
saw
from
the
stickers
just
in
you
know,
in
putting
those
new
lids
on
with
with
the
embedded
message
at
the
point
of
use
in
multiple
languages
really
and
saw
a
20
increase.
So
as
long
as
we
can
continue
on
that
trajectory,
we
should
see
improvement.
Covid,
of
course,
is
making
it
harder,
but
we
have
a
couple
other
pilots
that
we're
going
to
do
this
year,
including
larger
garbage
bins
to
see.
F
Does
that
improve
the
the
quality
of
the
recyclable
materials
as
well,
and
but
we
also
need
to
start
looking
at
the
per
capita
tonnage,
because
it's
one
thing
to
just
have
a
good
diversion
rate.
It's
a
better
thing
to
have
less
material
at
the
curb
and
so
we're
looking
at
to
both
of
those
to
to
improve
and
that's
part
of
our
climate,
smart
plan
in
our
zero
waste
element
that
we'll
look
to
see
how
we
can
drive
those
behaviors
but
yeah.
F
It's
a
it's
a
hard
message
to
to
get
to
people
at
their
home,
and
so
you
know
as
we.
This
is
our
third
year
of
having
the
communications
in
in
house
and
and
I
think,
we're
we're
making
some
really
good
progress
in
year.
Three,
and
I
expect
that
to
continue.
A
Okay,
great
councilmember
fully
got
her
sticker,
but
I
didn't
get
one
yet
so
I'm
waiting,
I
I
heard
you
say:
you're
you're
phasing
it
in
and
rolling
it
out
in
phases.
I'm
curious
what
the
timeline
is
for
that
city-wide
for
when
it
will
all
be
done.
It's
going.
F
I,
like
competition
well,
valerie,
do
we
have
an
eta
of
citywide.
B
So
council
member
gave
us,
I
think
he
should
be
getting
your
your
label
pretty
soon
all
right,
sometimes.
A
B
A
Mail
yeah,
it's
in
the
mail,
all
right
well
I'll,
be
looking
for
it,
I'm
the
I'm,
the
mail
getter
at
our
house.
So
looking
looking
forward
to
that,
it's
it's
really
helpful.
I
mean
I
literally
even
today
I
I
was
looking
at
this.
I
learned
something
new.
Every
time
we
have
this
report
and
I
was
looking
at
it.
A
My
daughter
went
and
got
what
are
they
called
a
7-eleven
like
the
slushies
or
whatever,
and-
and
I
looked
and
I
saw
the
number
wasn't
seven-
I
think
it
wasn't
seven
on
there
and
I
was
like
oh,
I
think
it's
okay
and
I
threw
it
in
there
and
then
I
was
looking
and
I
saw
seven.
Some
of
the
sevens
are
okay,
but
six
is
the
one:
that's
not
okay
and
I
missed
so
I'm
now.
I'm
thinking
I
should
probably
go
look.
A
I
might
have
thrown
those
in
the
recycle
bin
and
they're
not
supposed
to
be
in
there.
So
I
appreciate
having
the
sticker
on
the
on
the
lid.
I'm
very
much
looking
forward
to
that,
because
I
cannot
keep
it
in
my
head,
even
though
we
obviously
we
have
meetings
about
this
once
a
year
and
and
I
get
the
mailer
and
I
always
look
at
it-
and
I
know
I
know
we
can't
throw
clothes
in
there
anymore
and
so
yeah.
A
A
Yeah,
thank
you.
Okay,
no
more
questions
or
comments
from
my
colleagues.
Then.
Can
we
have
a
vote
please
to
accept
this
report.
We
have
already
got
a
motion
fully.
K
D
A
M
M
Okay,
great
so
good
afternoon,
councilman
councilmember
and
chair
davis
and
members
of
the
committee
and
members
of
the
public.
I
am
walter
lin,
the
deputy
director
of
public
works
and
today
I'll
be
going
over
just
a
recap
in
regards
to
an
update
for
the
city's
progress
towards
potential
microgrids
and
our
critical
city
facilities.
M
So,
just
for
some
background
for
those
that
might
not
be
familiar
with
what
microgrids
are,
they
are
localized
energy
systems
that
are
connected,
but
a
bit
separate
from
the
pg
e
grid
and
they
can
contain
different
types
of
energy
sources
such
as
solar,
photovoltaics,
battery
energy
storage
systems,
backup
generators
and
other
renewable
power
generation.
Sources
such
as
wind
turbines
or
even
biomass.
M
Biomass
are
organics
either
from
plants
or
animals
that
can
be
combusted
for
energy
or
they
can
be
converted
chemically
or
biologically
to
provide
for
a
fuel
source
through
a
control
system.
A
microgrid
can
switch
back
and
forth
between
itself
and
the
pg
grid,
helping
to
reduce
the
amount
of
power
that
is
needed
from
pg
e,
either
on
a
daily
basis,
and
also
completely
take
over
critical
systems.
As
long
as
they're
tied
to
the
microgrid
itself,
during
planned
or
unplanned
power
outages
and,
as
you
recall,
a
lot
of
our
program.
M
Development
began
in
preparation
for
the
public
safety
power
shutdowns,
as
initiated
by
pg
e,
whether
it's
by
weather
or
wildfire,
related
instances,
and
that's
where
a
lot
of
our
aspects
started
going
towards.
Well.
How
prepared
are
we
from
our
resiliency
standpoint,
especially
for
our
critical
facilities
that
provide
those
essential
services
for
the
community.
M
This
image
here
shows
what
a
particular
layout
could
look
like
from
an
integrated
systems
standpoint.
The
upper
left
side
of
this
image
shows
maybe
what
a
regular
utility
system
may
look
like,
either
pg
e
or
another
utility,
where
it's
a
combination
of
fossil
fuels
as
you'll
see
on
the
upper
side
of
the
image.
There
are
some
renewable
aspects
within
the
fuel
mix,
as
well
as
in
the
upper
left
portion
and
they're
all
connected
by
those
yellow
lines
to
the
actual
end-use
customers.
M
They
are
more
so
with
different
power
sources,
including
solar
and
biomass,
as
we
mentioned
other
forms
of
power,
and
they
can
automatically
or
autonomously
switch
back
and
forth,
as
mentioned
before,
utilizing
it
during
regular
business
hours
or
operational
hours
to
help
reduce
the
load
from
pg
e
or
the
utility,
then
also
during
those
critical
times
where
that
utility
power
is
not
there
and
with
the
automatic
transfer
that
it
has
to
the
micro
grid,
it
can
then
sustain
again
those
critical
operations
and
those
essential
services
to
the
community,
especially
during
the
emergency
response
we've
had
before
during
the
psps
or
wildfire
or
floods.
M
We've
got
those
local
assistance,
centers
other
aggregation
points
for
the
community,
where
we
are
promoting
them
to
go
to
either
for
assistance
or
information,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
those
types
of
facilities
as
we're
deeming
critical
and
essential.
I
have
that
continuous
power,
especially
during
those
emergency
situations,.
M
With
microgrids,
there
are
several
benefits
of
operating
such
a
system,
including
the
aspects
of
power
reliability,
as
we
mentioned,
as
well
as
increased
quality,
in
particular
when
they're
using
those
renewable
energy
sources.
They'll
definitely
help
to
reduce
the
greenhouse
gas
emission
emissions
within
the
community.
M
Microgrids
can
also
again
offset
the
amount
of
power
that
we're
drawing
from
pg
e
or
the
780
grid
on
a
daily
basis
and
again
provide
that
resiliency
aspect
that
we
need
for
the
critical
facilities
during
those
times.
We
are
in
audit
situations,
either
short
or
longer
durations
and
whether
they're,
planned
or
unplanned,
there's
also
some
challenges
within
microgrids
as
well.
In
particular,
there
are
some
regulatory
hurdles
that
we
would
have
to
go
through
to
initiate
and
ensure
that
what
we're
doing
is
correct.
M
There
are
some
higher
initial
capital
costs
in
getting
the
procurement
and
the
installation
of
the
system
in
place.
Then
there
could
be
also
some
interconnection
challenges
with
pg
e
and
the
existing
utility
as
well.
So
as
we
continue
to
look
and
evaluate
and
assess
these
types
of
systems,
we
have
to
be
mindful
of
those
challenges,
along
with
the
benefits
that
these
systems
can
provide
to
us.
M
As
the
city
was
preparing
for
the
possibility
and
then,
as
you
know,
we
actually
experienced
public
safety
power
shutdown.
Events
back
in
2019,
one
of
our
heavier
focuses
at
that
point,
was
to
focus
on
our
critical
facilities
again
that
provide
those
essential
services
to
the
community
and
making
them
more
resilient.
During
those
times
of
outages,
we
then
kind
of
focused
on
developing
a
plan
for
the
maintenance
and
the
refueling
of
those
existing
sites
with
diesel
generators
in
place,
but
then
also
identifying
which
facilities
did
not
have
existing
backup
services
or
sufficient
backup
services.
M
And,
as
we
started
going
through
the
review
process,
there
was
a
recommendation
that
we
continue
to
look
at
some
systems,
not
just
from
the
older
technology
from
diesel
generator
standpoint,
but
also
looking
at
the
aspects
of
cleaner
technologies
and
looking
at
renewable
aspects
for
integration
into
the
fuel
mix.
And
that's
how
the
micro
group
program
started
developing
within
the
city.
M
At
that
point,
we
started
looking
at
well.
How
do
we
then
administer
this
program?
Microgrids
are
a
bit
newer
to
us
in
terms
of
a
technology
standpoint,
and
we
don't
have
the
subject
matter,
expertise
necessarily
in-house
to
fully
do
that
work
properly
and
as
such,
and
also
I
apologize
due
to
some
staffing
deficiencies,
we're
not
able
to
really
dedicate
and
commit
a
lot
of
staff
time
towards
this
type
of
project.
Amongst
all
the
other
priorities
and
the
volume
of
projects
the
public
organization
has
to
do
as
well.
M
Staff
found
the
need
for
consult
services
and,
in
september
of
2020
council
did
approve
of
those
types
of
services
to
assist
us
from
a
subject
matter,
expertise,
standpoint,
looking
at
micro
grid
feasibility
at
our
sites
and
then
trying
to
identify
best
locations
and
best
suitability
for
this
type
of
technology
at
our
various
locations.
M
So,
as
mentioned
earlier,
there
was
the
one-time
allocation
that
was
given
to
public
works
to
manage
the
public
safety
power
shutdown
resiliency
program
for
our
critical
sites.
At
that
time,
again,
the
amount
from
five
million
dollars
was
reduced
down
to
two
million
dollars.
The
three
million
was
used
for
the
coke
response
of
that
two
million
dollars.
One
million
was
immediately
programmed
for
the
immediate
needs
at
that
time,
because
we
had
97
facilities
that
currently
have
diesel
backup
generation.
M
We
did
not
have
enough
refueling
trucks
to
adequately
refuel
them.
If
there
was
a
city-wide
outage
with
the
number
of
fueling
trucks
that
we
do
have,
we
just
felt
that
we
needed
additional
units
to
properly
serve
those
essential
facilities
with
refueling,
if
needed,
for
longer
term
duration,
outages.
M
In
addition,
we
purchased
these
mobile
ev
or
electric
vehicle
charging
stations
that
are
sustainable
in
some
fashion.
They
are
outfitted
with
solar
energy
arrays,
as
well
as
battery
energy
storage
systems.
They
are
mobile,
so
they
can
be
pulled
anywhere
within
the
city
where
there
is
an
outage
and
they
can
help
charge
up
emergency
vehicles
for
those
particular
locations.
M
M
In
addition,
there
is
not
a
backup
generated
of
generator
or
service
for
the
police,
substations
fueling
island
and,
as
that
is
one
of
those
are
more
critical
feeling
islands
within
the
city
on
that
southern
portion
of
the
city,
we
felt
more
of
the
immediate
need
to
get
a
generator
or
generator
connection
at
that
facility
with
those
particular
projects
that
had
earmarked
about
one
million
dollars
of
the
remaining
two
million
dollars
that
we
had
for
the
psps
work,
the
remaining
1
million
dollars.
M
In
addition,
in
order
to
find
more
funding,
assistance
to
support
the
program,
we've
also
looked
at
other
grants,
whether
local
or
federal,
one
example
is
the
fema
building
resilient
infrastructure
and
committees
grants
which
we
did
apply
for
last
year.
M
At
that
time,
it
was
disclosed
that
fema
was
not
as
familiar
and
experienced
with
that
type
of
technology
and
as
such,
they
were
not
comfortable
in
allocating
funding
for
those
types
of
projects
at
that
time.
Since
it's
been
a
year
since
our
last
application,
we
are
hopeful
that
any
types
of
federal
grant
opportunities
there's
now
more
of
that
experience
and
more
like
technology
out
there.
M
The
support
and
the
need
for
funding
assistance
for
microgrids
and
the
team
continues
to
explore
power
purchase
agreements
for
opportunities
to
have
microgrids
at
city
facilities,
which
those
are
creative
aspects
that
allow
for
projects
to
be
implemented
with
lower
upfront
costs,
as
the
contractor
bears
more
of
the
responsibility
to
operate
the
system
to
build
and
operate
the
system
and
to
maintain
the
system
elements
as
well,
while
the
customer's
commitment
is
really
just
to
lease
the
land,
or
at
least
the
property
for
the
build
out
of
the
micro
grid
and
also
buy
the
electricity
that's
generated
from
those
systems
over
a
longer
period,
typically
about
20
years,
as
you
may
recall,
within
the
city
in
the
past,
we
do
have
experience
with
our
purchase
agreements
already,
in
particular
with
the
past
solar
projects
that
we've
had
through
solarcity,
which
that
parent
company
is
tesla.
M
The
next
slide
shows
an
image
of
microgrid
projects
at
the
city
of
fremont,
which
they
have
recently
completed
three
projects
at
their
fire
station
locations
which
those
are
administered
under
a
power
purchase
agreement
as
well,
when
these
projects
were
done.
There's
also
some
funding
assistance
from
the
california
energy
commission
to
help
launch
those
projects
moving
forward,
but,
unfortunately
those
funds
have
expired
and
are
no
longer
available,
but
staff.
We
continue
to
look
at
opportunities.
M
Whether
there
are
ppe's
grants,
a
ppe,
sorry,
ppa
grants
or
other
opportunities,
either
state
or
federally
to
assist
in
providing
not
just
for
the
support
of
design
and
engineering
aspect,
but
also
for
the
procurement
installation
and
the
complete
project.
Turnkey
aspects
of
it.
M
M
Such
elements
include
the
site's
mission
and
role
within
the
city,
whether
they
were
a
fire
station,
a
pump
station,
an
animal
care
services
facility,
a
warming
or
cooling
community
center,
there's
also
an
equity
layer
that
we
placed
on
the
ranking
criteria
as
well,
and
as
this
work
in
coordination
with
our
consultant
was
done.
Last
year
we
had
used
median
household
income
as
one
of
the
criteria.
This
was
elements
that
we
pulled
from
statistical
atlas.
M
M
I
will
say
that
in
meeting
with
the
office
of
racial
equity,
more
recently,
additional
resources
have
been
provided
to
us
that
we'll
be
using
in
the
future,
as
we
further
continue
our
assessments
for
site
feasibility
and
that
criteria
in
order
to
try
to
identify
the
best
projects
that
we
can
recommend.
Moving
forward.
M
This
chart
here
I
know
it's
quite
a
bit
of
information-
shows
how
the
rankings
were
done
with
those
remaining
sites
that
do
not
have
backup
or
sufficient
backup
generation.
After
all
of
the
criteria
was
applied.
This
is
out
of
a
score
of
a
four
total.
M
I
do
want
to
mention
that
these
are
all
existing
facilities
that
are
currently
in
use
throughout
the
city,
so
geographic
locations
and
what
their
operations
are
and
what
they
provide
to
the
community.
It's
already
established,
one
of
the
major
constraints
for
many
of
the
sites
is
site
space
availability,
as
there
may
be
little
to
no
space.
Unfortunately,
that
is
available
to
actually
build
out
additional
infrastructure
to
put
in
perspective.
M
The
minimum
space
needed
for
subsystems
could
be
anywhere
between
720
to
1000
square
feet,
which
is
the
equivalent
of
about
four
to
six
parking
structures,
a
parking,
I'm
sorry
parking
stalls
and
as
you'll
notice
on
the
list,
the
fire
stations
and
the
pump
stations,
because
those
could
be
smaller
footprint
parcels
to
begin
with,
they
did
rank
lower
and
again,
there's
much
more
criteria,
just
based
on
space
constraints
and
space
availability,
but
those
did
rank
lower.
Unfortunately,
just
based
on
the
perimeter
boundary
and
the
site
parcel
size
that
we
have
to
work
with.
M
However,
for
new
developments,
we
are
looking
at
aspects
of
microgrids
or
elements
of
microgrids
to
include
in
the
scope
for
those
types
of
projects,
just
seeing
three
examples
here:
fire
station
37
there
are
solar,
photovoltaics
and
a
generator
that
are
within
the
scope,
similarly,
for
the
new
fire
training
center
and
the
emergency
operations
center,
just
north
of
the
central
service
yard
and
south
of
the
muni
stadium.
M
This
also
includes
solar,
photovoltaics
and
a
generator
and
in
the
future
we
are
looking
at
integrating
battery
energy
storage,
for
that
particular
site
also,
and
for
the.
M
Let's
conclude,
you
know
in
order
to
make
a
more
effective
and
rapid
progress
on
the
microgrid
program,
we
do
need
more
additional
additional
resources,
in
particular
staffing
that
can
really
be
dedicated
and
committed
to
this
type
of
work.
Again.
Unfortunately,
as
we
are
under
deficient
staffing
resources
and
under
priority
projects,
special
projects
that
come
in
as
well
too,
it
is
tough
to
find
more
of
that
dedicated
labor
hours
to
this
project,
even
with
consultant
services.
M
There
needs
to
be
that
oversight,
and
even
if
we
pursue
something
like
a
power
purchase
agreement
where
it
is
lesser
of
a
cost
up
front
to
the
city,
there
is
still
that
project
management
oversight.
We
do
need
project
managers
to
assist
with
the
consultant,
develop
that
scope
go
through
the
bidding
and
selection
process,
any
permitting
inspection
and
construction
management
work
that
all
comes
from
the
city
as
well
and
then
funding.
Unfortunately,
as
mentioned,
we
we
have
about
880
000
left
in
our
program
budget.
M
There's
a
need
to
continue
site
assessment
work
as
well
to
ensure
that
the
projects
are
possible
to
minister.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
doing
it
right
and
that
there
is
a
benefit
to
those
sites
where
these
systems
may
be
implemented
and
really
with
the
aspect
of
power
resiliency
under
the
aspects
of
either
day-to-day
or
emergency
type
of
response,
especially
if
the
utility
power
or
pga
power
is
not
there
for
us,
with
the
remaining
program
balance
that
we
have
at
880
thousand
dollars.
M
Staff
is
recommending
projects
for
two
sites
at
roosevelt
community
center
and
happy
hollow
park
and
zoo
in
sequence,
so
starting
off
at
roosevelt
community
center.
If
that
is
feasible
to
move
forward
with,
then
spending
down
the
remaining
budget
that
we
have
and
if
there
is
enough
budget
left
over
then
considering
happy
hollow
at
that
point.
M
M
However,
I
do
want
to
mention
that
we
have
to
complete
more
in-depth
reviews
of
these
two
sites,
in
particular
just
to
ensure
that
the
micro
grids
do
work
there
effectively
and
if
so,
staff
will
then
be
requesting
the
use
of
such
funds
in
the
proposed
budget.
H
Oh,
thank
you
so
much.
Okay,
good
tessa,
woodman
c,
and
I
I
guess
the
main
issue
is
about
well
one
of
the
issues
is
this
bloom
and
the
hypocrisy?
That's
happened
where
you
know
so
many
of
our
politicians,
mayor
le
cardo,
and
you
know-
and
you
know
just
it's
just
we
know-
we've
seen
it
and
seeing
it
in
the
mail.
What
happened?
H
So
when
you
have
the
the
wolves
protecting
the
sheep
or
whatever
the
expression
is
we're
not
gonna
get
the
movements,
we
need
to
really
be
fossil
fuel
free,
and
this
is
where
we
have
to
start
really.
You
know
taking
the
bull
by
the
horn
to
to
have
zero
emissions
as
our
goal,
and
I
appreciate
that
the
city
has
said
2030
we're
going
to
be
net
net
zero.
H
I
mean
that's
the
start,
but
we
have
to
be
zero
and
and
2030
is
too
late,
even
as
it
is,
and
so
because
we're
experiencing
climate
crisis
right
now
and
so
anyway,
just
you
know
we
need
to
be
much
more
active
about
our
our
fossil
fuel,
free
lifestyle
and
decision
making
and
that
bloom
decision
needs
to
be
reevaluated
and
and,
like
mothers
out
front
said,
we
use
the
diesel
as
a
backup
when
and
if
we
have
to
or
really
it
shouldn't
be.
H
That
way
we
have
to
build
the
infrastructure
to
have
the
power
back
up
the
battery,
the
solar.
It
should
be
fossil
fuel
free,
even
the
diesel,
as
a
backup
has
to
go,
but
anyway
and-
and
you
know,
oakland
oakland,
california,
with
their
environmental
leadership
of
the
the
mayor
of
oakland,
they
passed.
You
know
unanimously
to
ban
the
the
gas
leaf
blowers.
We
need
to
do
that
and
it
needs
to
happen
now.
E
A
Still
can't
hear
you,
it
looks
like
you're
unmuted
paul,
but
we're
gonna
go
to
blair.
Maybe
you
can
try,
try
logging
off
and
logging
back
in
blair.
J
All
right,
can
you
restart
my
timer,
please.
Thank
you.
Thanks
a
lot
all
right,
beekman
yeah
for
this
item,
thanks
a
lot
for
the
report
by
walter
lin,
I
it
was
the
first
time
I
think
I've
I'm
really
impressed
with
the
presentation
it
was
nice.
It
seemed
to
ask
that
we're
at
a
time
to
consider
choices
around
working
with
pg
e
in
our
future
and
so
hope.
J
This
is
the
whole
point
of
the
future
of
our
community
energy
plans
and
ideas,
and
it's
hopeful-
it's
really
really
hopeful
stuff
that
that
can
invite
the
whole
community
process
to
ask
what
they
want
for
the
future
of
their
energy
practices,
and
it's
not
a
decision
of
a
pg
e
so
much
anymore
and
we're
learning
how
to
separate
ourselves
from
pg
e,
and
so
good
luck
in
those
efforts
we're
at
a
time
at
the
local
level
as
a
local
community,
to
really
ask
for
renewable
energy
ideas
and
the
local
procurement
process.
J
I
understand
is
also
very
important
at
this
time.
It's
working
towards
renewable
energy
ideas
that
are
very,
very
possible
and
that
we've
developed
a
whole
mentality
around
that.
That's
really
interesting
for
our
upcoming
decade
and
in
fact
it
can
basically
supersede
the
need
of
fossil
fuel
or
the
questions
of
fossil
fuels
and
and
have
a
really
important
center
stage
in
how
we
consider
ourselves.
J
Good
luck
in
those
efforts.
We
really
can
do
this
now.
We
can
ask
fossil
fuel
industry
to
start
to
take
more
of
a
back
seat
and
that's
interesting,
so
good
luck.
How
we
can
do
that
and
always
continually
working
to
do
that
in
the
next
few
years
and
decade,
and
and
and
asking
this
community
persons
to
separate
a
bit
from
from
pg
e
and
good
luck
in
all
of
our
good
efforts
to
do
that.
Thank
you.
I
Thank
you,
man
very
much.
I
really
appreciate
you
leading
the
meeting.
Thank
you
for
your
care
about
people
too,
and
that
goes
for
the
whole
council.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
don't
have
much
control
over
this.
So
I
don't
know
pg
e
and
the
california
public
utilities,
commission,
public
utility,
the
california
public
cp,
is
the
very
corrupt,
and
you
know
pg
e
is
in
open
court
said
they
were
they
pled
guilty
to
manslaughter.
I
If
I
pled
guilty
to
medicine,
I
wouldn't
be
talking
here
and
they
do,
and
I
mean
I
get
it.
I
know
it's
different
between
a
corporation,
which
is
another
reason
and
corporations
should
go
on
forever
because
they
don't
have
a
soul.
People
have
souls
and
they're
mortal
corporations
or
not
so
that's
outside
the
purview
of
this.
I
But
if
you
have
pg
e,
that's
controlling
this
and
that
and
you
begin
to
understand
that
the
cpuc
and
pg
e
do
not
care
about
the
rate
payers
with
a
passion.
Absolutely
it
is
a
passion
for
them
to
not
care
about
rate
payers.
You
you.
I
appreciate
what
you're
trying
to
do
and
anything
you
can
do
to
get
around
it
would
be
appreciated.
Thank
you.
I
appreciate
your
time.
A
O
Hi
thanks
for
having
me,
this
kind
of
seems
like
it
connects
to
the
prior
item
the
refuse
contamination
and
one
of
the
byproducts
of
which
is
methane
and
stuff,
like
that
from
the
landfill
recently
learned
that
in
san
jose
there's
a
hydrogen
fuel
network
for
hydrogen
field
cars,
you
can
create
hydrogen
using.
O
O
That
is
a
thing
that
happens,
but
I
think
it's
because
we're
relying
on
distribution
based
off
of,
like
you
know,
old
distributor
lines
where
it's
produced
somewhere
far
and
then
is
brought
in
there's
a
way
to
make
it
locally,
where
you're,
creating
electricity
and
the
only
byproduct
is
really
water.
O
So
I'm
hoping
that
there's
some
interest
in
you
know
making
green
hydrogen
and
adding
more
of
this
fuel.
What
is
it
in
independence
and
better
energy
distribution
and
such
thanks
for
your
time.
A
I'm
sorry
we're
not
able
to
hear
you
shoot
all
right
paul.
Maybe
you
need
to
update
your
software.
Possibly
I
don't
know
if
zoom
had
an
update
recently,
I'm
gonna
go
to
my
colleagues
and
we'll
try
you
one
more
time
after
my
colleagues
just
in
case
you're
able
to
update
your
software.
In
the
meantime,
council,
member
paralysis.
N
Yeah
thanks
chair,
and
maybe
after
I'm
done
speaking,
our
clerk's
office
can
share
just
the
call-in
number,
because
that
might
be
easier
as
well
to
to
do
a
phone
call.
That's
great
yeah.
N
So
thank
you,
staff
for
for
the
presentation
and
and
the
analysis
here
very
helpful,
and
I
recognize
there's
really
no
direction.
Things
are
kind
of.
N
This
is
just
an
update,
but
I
appreciate
the
candidness
of
you
know
the
response
on
the
challenges
that
you
have
when
it
comes
to
management
right
in
staff
resources
and
really
being
able
to
to
have
a
built
built
out
robust
resilient
micro,
good
system
that
you
know
where
we're
actually
implementing
it
at
many
sites
funding,
clearly
an
issue
as
well,
but
I
think
you
know
we
recognize
there's
opportunities
for
funding
out
there,
maybe
more
so
than
we
have
opportunities
to
have
staff
available
to
manage
and
oversee
any
kind
of
build
out
of
program.
N
Can
you
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
the
ranking
and
then
I
see
roosevelt,
you
know
obviously
was
the
highest
score
there,
but
then
happy
hollow
was
fourth
down
and
and
just
kind
of
give
us
the
understanding
of
why
you've
sort
of
decided
to
move
forward
with
those
two.
As
a
top.
Two
and
I'll
have
a
I'll
save
it
for
that
there
and
I'll
have
a
follow-up
question
after
that.
M
Hi
good
afternoon,
councilman
paralyze
great
questions,
walter
lynn,
again,
deputy
director
of
public
works.
Yes,
as
we
went
through
the
site
criteria
and
the
different
elements
that
went
into
each
category
and
then
how
the
end
the
end
result
scores
came
about,
we
started
then,
looking
at
some
of
the
top
tier
locations
that
scored
the
highest
based
on
all
elements
included,
those
particular
ones
for
roosevelt
and
happy
hollow
it
fit
within
also
the
top
range
of
scoring
that
we
had,
but
also
what
we
could
afford.
Unfortunately,
so
that
and
eighty
thousand
dollars.
M
That
is
enough.
Potentially
for
these
two
sites,
we
are
looking
initially
at
roosevelt
at
being
just
about
three
hundred
thousand
and
happy
hollow
450
000.
However,
as
we
continue
to
continue
evaluating
and
determining
whether
these
sites
are
are
good,
those
costs
may
be
adjusted
and
that's
why
we're
looking
at
a
sequence
of
roosevelt
at
first
and
then,
if
prices
hold
and
we're
still
confident
that
we
can
still
afford
happy
hollow
afterwards,
we
can
do
so
other
sites.
M
N
Great,
thank
you
yeah.
I
appreciate
you
know
having
a
little
bit
better
understanding,
I
I
did
notice
like
fire
station
16
on
there
and
clearly
with
some
of
the
newer
fire
stations
right.
We
have
an
opportunity
like
to
create
that
on
site
with
all
of
our
newer
development,
as
you
gave
the
three
examples,
my
understanding
for
the
fire
stations,
those
are
all
equipped
with-
I
guess
generator
backup
or
is
that,
is
that
not
the
case.
M
You
are
right:
consumer
paralysis,
all
the
fire
stations
do
have
some
level
of
backup
generation.
Some
of
them
have
on-site
permanent,
large
generators
that
can
operate
and
sustain
full
operations
of
the
site.
However,
there's
about
half
of
them,
14
of
the
fire
stations
that
are
listed
here,
that
don't
have
sufficient
generators.
They
basically
just
have
the
handheld
refueled
generators
that
can
power
the
apparatus,
doors
and
the
alarm
system.
M
N
Okay,
yeah!
No,
I
wasn't
aware
of
that
and
that's
concerning,
I
think
you
know
and
recognize
all
the
sites
you
would
want
to
have
some
backup
power,
but
certainly
at
our
fire
stations.
N
That
certainly
would
be
a
major
priority
for
me
and
maybe
even
something
worthy
of
looking
at
separately
than
than
the
ranking
of
this.
This
list,
I
guess,
walk
me
through
that,
where
a
fire
station
you
know,
for
instance,
you
got
a
couple
like
ranked
here:
fire
stations
at
towards
the
bottom.
Would
they
be?
They
didn't
score
as
high
because
of
like
other
stations
that
are
nearby
or
other
I
mean.
What
is
what
would
be
that
reason.
M
Yeah
great
question:
councilwoman
paralyzed:
maybe
I
can
backtrack
a
little
bit
in
terms
of
how
these
sites
were
identified
to
begin
with
so
using
a
fema
definition
of
critical
facilities.
That's
how
we
went
through
all
of
our
entire
inventory
of
city
facilities
to
determine
what
is
essential.
What
does
provide
an
essential
service
and
what
would
we
consider
as
a
critical
facility?
M
Obviously,
if
there's
a
flood,
you
want
those
storm
pump
stations
to
work
effectively
sanitary-
we
just
don't
want
raw
sewage
out
there,
so
those
have
to
be
working
properly
as
well.
The
community
centers.
These
are
the
ones
also
listed
geographically
within
the
city
that
would
be
warming
and
cooling
centers
as
well,
and
these
could
be
targeted
at
shelters
in
the
future
or
those
local
assistance
centers
within
the
city
in
case
there's
a
wildfire
emergency
flood.
These
would
be
the
aggregation
points
for
those
community
members
within
each
council,
district
and
geographically
within
the
city.
M
M
That's
where
you
may
see
the
fire
stations
in
particular
a
little
bit
lower
down
the
list,
because
they
may
not
be
big
enough
to
either
house
solar
or
battery
on
site
or
even
on
the
roof
and
other
criteria
based
on
outage
history
from
pg
e,
but
that
all
contributed
into
how
how
this
got
rained
and
then
again,
as
we
move
forward,
we'll
also
be
putting
more
of
that
equity
lens
on
it
as
well
to
you,
from
a
community
perspective,
whether
it's
race,
accessibility,
age,
you
know
single
language,
neighborhoods
things
that
nature
so
yeah.
N
Okay,
yeah,
thank
you
and
you
know
the
pump
stations
as
well
being
very
critical
everything,
obviously
as
you're
pointing
right.
That's
what
the
list
is
for
very
critical
and
I'm
imagining
a
you
know
an
emergency
right
where,
where
we
have
such
a
high
need
for
emergency
services
and
and
obviously
all
the
pumps
to
everything
you
want
things
that
to
continue
to
function,
especially
in
emergency
and
not
to
begin
to
fail
and
and-
and
so
I
think
all
of
this
is
pretty.
N
N
Is
that
something
that
the
department
is
looking
at
trying
to
address
through?
You
know,
obviously
advocacy
and
the
budget
process
coming
up
and
future
budget
budget
processes
you
know,
and
what
would
that
look
like?
Would
you
need
a
you
know,
one
manager
to
cover
all
of
this,
or
is
it?
Would
it
be
a
couple
staff?
What
would
that
look
like
to
have
robust
enough
staff
to
really
have
you
know
to
take
on
all
of
these
needs?.
M
M
So
that
is
where
we
struggle
with
in
terms
of
staffing
resource
again
with
our
existing
engineering
team,
which
we've
tasked
for
this
work.
They're
also
inundated
with
other
higher
priority
citywide
projects,
either
on
a
more
media
basis
or
longer
term,
and
then
it's
the
expertise
of
the
staff
as
well.
M
Even
though
we
have
very
good
staff,
this
is
a
newer
technology
to
the
city,
which
does
involve
a
lot
of
research,
a
lot
of
time,
a
lot
of
data
collection,
a
lot
of
information
that
we
feed
into
the
analysis,
along
with
the
consultant,
in
order
to
really
go
through
the
site
criteria,
whether
that's
one
or
two,
you
know
additional
project
managers
or
engineers
we're
still
evaluating
what
that
need
is
to
really
dedicate
and
commit
that
resource
to
this
program.
L
L
We
do
have
the
staff
and
we
have
the
ability
to
add
the
staff
when
we
have
a
funded
project,
just
like
any
other
capital
project,
where
our
challenges
in
the
area
of
micro
grids
and
other
some
other
innovative
technologies
is
that
we
we.
You
know,
we
like
every
organization
in
the
city
are
under
staff
to
just
keep
the
lights
on
right
now
and
and
so
on.
L
Our
facilities
team
really
to
advance
microgrids
we'd,
really,
I
think,
just
need
one
good,
strong
manager
that
strong
manager
could
advocate
for
funding
work
with
consultants
work
with
our
project
delivery
team,
and
if
we
got
a
bunch
of
projects
going
on
at
the
same
time,
we
would
add
staff
who
would
build
those
projects
as
we
do
during
a
typical
budget
year.
Right
now
to
you
asked
if
our
stat,
our
department
was,
I
don't
know
the
word
to
use
but
advocating
for
this
in
the
budget
process.
We're
not
right
now.
L
Our
focus
in
conversations
with
with
the
city
manager's
office
in
the
budget
is
on.
I
would
just
call
more
based
needs
right
now.
Thank
you.
N
Okay
yeah,
no
thank
you
that's
helpful
is,
is
a
a
secondary
solution
for
some
of
these
locations.
Like
not
going
to
this
extent
of
a
microgrid,
I
mean
you
look
at
the
two
sites
you
got
as
a
one-off.
Would
it
be
just
even
something
more
simple,
like
upgrading
the
the
generator
capabilities
right
as
walter
was
pointing
out?
Some
of
them
is
just
the
little
hand-filled
generators
right
just
to
keep
maybe
able
to
open
the
doors
and
stuff
like
that.
N
Would
it
make
sense
in
some
of
these
areas
to
identify
where
we
would
want
to
invest
in
slightly
better,
even
generator
technology?
You
know,
and
so
it's
not
a
it's,
not
a
microgrid
project,
but
it,
but
it
you
know,
would
help
the
continued
operation
in
a
whether
it's
a
pump
house
or
a
fire
station
or
something
to
be
able
to
continue
to
operate
it
up
at
a
higher
capacity.
Is
that
something
that
we're
looking
at
too.
M
Great
question
councilmember
and
yes,
we
are
doing
so
and
as
an
example,
fire
station
28
is
not
on
this
list.
It
is
a
site
that
has
insufficient
backup
generation.
Currently,
the
generator
on
site
is
underpowered,
unfortunately,
not
only
for
the
operations
of
that
station,
but
also
the
emergency
radio
tower
that
we
have
on
site
as
well,
which
is
the
repeater
for
9-1-1.
M
That
is
a
project
that
we've
taken
off
this
list,
just
for
the
more
immediate
nature
of
needing
a
better
generator
at
that
site,
and
that
is
our
goal
is
to
get
a
bigger,
better,
newer
generator
that
could
support
the
existing
operations
and
the
radio
tower
more
so
because
of
the
cost.
We
know
that
footprint
wise
it'll
fit
and
also
the
immediate
aspect
of
getting
a
generator
and
installing
it
versus
more
of
that
design,
design,
work
and
feasibility
work
with
the
microgrid
and
then
trying
to
find
the
additional
funding
for
that
microgrid.
M
So
it
makes
sense
to
upgrade
existing
known.
Traditional
technologies
such
as
generators,
we
are
considering
that,
however,
for
those
that
we
still
feel
that
we
can
add
in
that
greener,
cleaner
technology
elements,
as
recommended
by
the
city
administration.
We
are
also
taking
that
lens
as
well,
but
for
things
that
we
feel
that
are
need
needed
more
emergent,
more
immediately,
such
as
that
fire
station
and
then
early
in
the
presentation.
I
mentioned
the
police
substation
fueling
island.
N
D
A
Yes,
thank
you.
I
we
will
call
on
the
phone
number
eight
three,
five,
seven,
I'm
hoping
that's
paul.
P
You
knew
I
wasn't
going
to
stop
either
february
2020,
mayor
ricardo
was
trying
for
the
same
thing,
different
rhetoric,
same
goal
and,
and
it
was
turned
out-
this
is
what's
happening
and
I
I
don't
appreciate
being
con
and
and
I'm
trying
to
be
as
polite
as
I
can
matt
kano,
because
this
is
a
con
game.
You
know
it
and
I
know
it
and,
and
I,
as
a
citizen,
I
have
my
job
to
do
and
you
have
your
job
to
do
because
you're
working
for
them,
that's
fine,
I'm
not
gonna.
P
That's
number
one,
and
that
was
the
primary
reason,
was
that
no
google
ain't
getting
no
straight
conduit
to
blood
plug
in
and
if
they
can't
get
that
from
pg
e
and
to
be
dependent
on
them,
they
want
to
use
an
alternative
for
that.
So
that's
that's.
My
main
point:
this
was
already
discussed
in
february
of
2020.,
okay
and
it
was
turned
down.
P
Okay,
so
don't
con
me
by
using
different
language
and
you're
trying
to
reach
the
same
goal.
Number
two
is
that
I
want
all
the
countries
of
lithium,
cobalt
and
nickel.
I
want
an
assessment
by
this
particular
department.
Okay,
I
want
an
assessment
of
those
countries
where
those
three
minerals
are
prevalent
and
they
have
the
most
they
have
operating
minds
for
those
minerals.
That
is
a
responsible
thing
to
do.
P
You're
not
getting
away
with
this
moral
authority
that
we're
clean,
clean,
clean,
clean,
clean,
no
wars
are
going
to
be
started
in
those
other
countries
because
the
batteries
are
running
off
of
them.
I
brought
this
up
before
I'm
bringing
it
up
now.
So
please,
matt
kino,
don't
come
here
and
try
to
con
con.
It's
not
going
to
work!
Thank
you.
D
Yeah,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
this
report,
walter.
It's,
it's
really
important
material
and,
as
you
know,
I'm
a
strong
believer
that
local
generation
is
necessary
and
an
important
element
of
moving
towards
our
our
goals
in
the
next
10
years,
and
the
report
just
shows
how
much
work
there
really
is.
You
know
to
getting
to
getting
us
to
that
to
the
point
where
we
want
to
be,
but
I
appreciate
the
starting
place
where
you
are.
D
I
just
want
to
ask
you
a
question
about
the
objectives
behind
some
of
these
microgrids.
Obviously,
there's
been
a
lot
of
talk
about
the
resiliency
and
the
ability
to
make
sure
we
don't
go
down
during
power,
shut
out
downs
or
other
situations,
natural
disasters
et
cetera,
obviously
you're,
building
some
capacity
as
well
for
generation,
especially
in
the
places
where
they're
solar.
M
It
could
be
a
combination
of
both
councilmember
cohen
and
great
question,
the
way
that
different
micro
grids,
how
they're
equipped
and
how
their
program
can
work
in
that
fashion,
where
outside
of
resiliency,
they
can
be
on
every
single
day,
and
that
could
be
an
aspect
where
it's
shedding
the
load
of
what
is
needed
from
pg
e.
As
mentioned
earlier,
they
are
still
tied
to
the
grid,
so
whatever
we
can
actually
power
through
that
system
that
alleviates
that
need
for
that
same
volume
of
electric
commodity
from
pg
e.
M
The
utility
doesn't
doesn't
buy
back
power,
unfortunately
as
much
as
they
sell
it
to
us
for,
but
there
is
that
type
of
revenue
that
can
be
gained
from
that
aspect,
then,
for
night
time,
hours
yeah
the
batteries
can
be
used
so
especially
if
these
are
sheltering
sites,
emergency
use,
where
it
is
multiple
days
because
of
a
wildfire
earthquake
whatever
it
might
be.
M
The
constant
charging
and
discharging
of
the
batteries
day
and
night
can
be
used
to
sustain
those
operations
for
a
longer
duration,
similar
to
a
backup
generator
with
diesel.
It's
just
constantly
refueling
that
diesel
generator
with
diesel
fuel
and
that's
what
we've
been
doing
so
far
for
all
of
the
past
events,
where
we've
had
those
longer
durations
of
outages
and
the
need
to
refuel
those
sites.
The
sun
can
do
that
for
us
with
the
batteries
and
that
can
be
just
back
and
forth
every
day.
M
So
there
is
that
element
of
some
revenue
generation
by
the
sellback,
but
also
just
more
constant
use
during
daytime
regular,
daily
business
and
then
definitely
after
hours
and
then
during
emergencies.
Great
thank.
D
You
these
are
talking
about
storage
and
battery.
I
always
like
to
talk
about
what
what
I
think
are
actually
pretty
elegant
solutions
that
are
often
the
lower
tech
solutions.
There's
a
lot
of-
and
these
may
not
be
appropriate
in
our
cases.
D
But
just
yesterday
a
few
of
us
actually
two
of
us
three
of
us
were
members
of
this
committee,
but
we
got
a
chance
to
go
up
to
lake
observatory
and
and
see
their
their
observatory
there
and
when
they
showed
us
the
how
they
opened
the
the
observatory
and
rotated
the
dome
on
the
original
observatory
that
was
built
in
1880s,
and
they
didn't
have
electricity,
then
right
so
they
were
able
to
actually
generate
electricity
during
the
day
using
wind
power
and
used
hydrology,
which
basically
pumps
water
up
to
the
top
of
a
tower
and
then
at
night
by
letting
the
water
drain,
they
could
actually
power
the
movement
of
the
of
the
huge
domes
and
that's
that's
in
essence,
a
battery
right.
D
So
when
we
talk
about
batteries
they
don't
all
have
to
be.
You
know
tesla
batteries,
there's
a
lot
of
other
methodologies
that
we
can
use
that
have
been
in
use
for
a
long
time.
For
some
reason,
people
don't
think
about
them
anymore
and
they're
they're,
actually,
the
greenest
and
cleanest
way
of
storing
energy.
So
just
just
I
just
something
I
like
to
throw
at
every
time.
D
You
know
talk
about
some
of
those
things
when,
when
we
talk
about
this,
there's
some
really
cool
new
gravity-based
storage
ideas
for
for
the
large
installations
in
the
central
valley,
but
you
may
even
be
able
to
try
some
cool
things
locally
anyway.
My
last
question
is
about
the
bloom
energy
at
solar
for
america,
and
I
know
obviously,
there's
been
some
controversy
over
whether
bloom
is
truly
clean
or
not
depends
on
the
type
of
bloom
used.
D
Obviously,
there's
a
hydrogen
fuel
cell
and
there's
the
natural
gas
fuel
cell
no
doubt
that
the
the
natural
gas
is
still
cleaner
than
the
diesel
generators
that
you
were
talking
about
and
we're
better
off
having
those
bloom
installations
instead-
and
I
think
I've
talked
to
bloom
about
this
in
the
past-
I'm
not
sure
I
fully
understand
it,
but
over
time
as
hydrogen
fuel
becomes
more
available
are
the
I,
their
their
fuel
cells
are
meant
to
be
able
to
be
used
by
both
types
of
fuel.
But
is
it
once
you
install
one
for
natural
gas?
M
Great
question,
councilmember
cohen,
we'll
have
to
do
a
little
bit
of
research
on
that.
M
If
you
change
the
fuel
type
within
an
existing
system,
there
may
be
a
conversion
kit
that
will
allow
for
that
new
fuel
source
to
take
in,
but
without
knowing
for
sure,
we'd
have
to
do
a
little
bit
of
research
to
see
if
a
brand
new
system
must
be
brought
in
if
hydrogen
becomes
more
available
as
a
fueling
source,
as
you
mentioned,
or
whether
we
can
do
some
type
of
conversion
with
the
existing
system,
hopefully
at
a
lower
cost,
but
still
utilizing
most
of
the
existing
system.
M
As
is,
we
can
do
some
research
and
figure
out
how
to
switch
between
fuel
sources
and
what
that
might
mean
for
the
existing
equipment.
D
M
The
scope
I'll
have
to
look
at
as
well
to
you
whether
it
is
for
only
emergency
access
needs
or
whether
that
could
also
be
a
daily
aspect
just
for
normal
daily
operations.
I
will
have
to
research
that
and
provide
a
supplemental
answer.
Customer
calling
I'm.
D
Curious
what
their
use
is:
it's
not
that
I'm
suggesting
that
it'd
be
for
daily,
because
if
it's
not
purely
clean,
if
it's
not
solar
and
if
it's
not
you
know
another
support
or
100
clean,
I
wouldn't
think
we'd
want
to
use
it
as
a
daily
source,
I'm
just
curious
as
to
the
purpose
of
that
installation,
and
why,
at
that
site,
this
is
this.
It's
I
know
a
san
jose
site
is.
D
M
That
I
am
not
sure
as
well
too,
unfortunately,
councilmember
cohen,
so
we
will
research
that
and
get
back
to
you
whether
it
is
solely
on
the
city
in
terms
of
the
base
budget
or
any
ad
alternates,
or
whether
this
might
be
a
shared
cost
with
the
operator
right.
That's
title
so
yeah,
okay,.
B
Thanks
a
couple
of
things:
first,
off
just
in
the
interest
of
transparency,
I
wanted
to
clarify
for
folks
that
might
have
questions
the
happy
hollow
site
was
located
and
prioritized
so
that
the
energy
could
provide
care
for
the
animals.
Is
that
correct
walter.
B
M
B
Yeah
thanks
and
that
was
really
important,
because
that
was
an
issue
during
the
flood,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out
for
folks
that
might
be
following
along
and
not
sure
I
I
wanted
to
a
couple
more
things.
I
wanted
to
sort
of
add
my
voice
to
councilmember
perales's
questions.
B
You
know
I'm
not
familiar
with
all
of
the
fire
stations
on
the
list.
Obviously
16
is
in
district
7.
It's
a
very
high
need
very
busy
community
focused
fire
station
and
fire
station.
Three
and
eight,
I
believe,
are
amongst
the
busiest
fire
stations
in
the
city,
and
so
you
know
and
seeing
the
pump
stations.
B
I
don't
see
anybody
from
oes
on
this
presentation.
Are
they
pursuing
other
grants
for
this.
M
Great
question
customer
respirators
that
they
are
and
they're
notifying
public
works
of
those
grant
opportunities.
In
fact,
one
of
them
is
a
fema
grant
that
was
specifically
allocated
for
the
psps
program
and
that's
where
we're
also
looking
at
funding
assistance,
whether
that
can
be
for
that
police,
substation,
fueling
island
or
for
fire
station
28
they've
been
very
good
in
advising
what
is
coming
up
or
what
is
currently
available
from
a
grant
perspective.
M
They
will
coordinate
that
with
us
as
well
too,
within
public
works,
and
then
we
will
formulate
a
kind
of
a
position.
Are
we
qualified
for
the
types
of
projects
that
we're
considering
and
is
it
worth
pursuing
that
grant
and
if
so,
then
our
team
would
get
on
that
and
review
and
then
submit
what
we
can
for
for
that
particular
opportunity.
I
think
for
the
last
fema
brick
that
was
at
the
advice
or
guidance
of
oem,
and
they
shared
that
with
us,
and
we
pursued
that
last
year.
B
Thank
you
and
then
just
a
last
question,
because
this
has
been
an
issue
in
the
past.
I
want
to
say
with
nse
committee
this
was
pre-covered
and
it's
hard
to
remember
that
long.
B
B
We
use
james
lick
and
seven
trees
for
the
flood,
but
for
the
big
one
right
that
really
wouldn't
be
enough.
We
were
talking
about
los
lagos
and
some
other
sites
city-wide,
but
I
do
believe
los
lagos
was
an
outdoor
shelter.
Are
we
and
so
that
that
would
not
be
like
community
centers
per
se?
It
could
just
because
it
wouldn't
be
enough.
Are
we
also
looking
at
those
mass
shelter
sites
to
meet
our
energy
needs
for
those
sites
that
we've
identified.
M
M
M
That's
where
we're
trying
to
see
if
there's
any
efficiencies
in
that
scope
and
the
microgrid
scope
and
avoid
any
redundancies,
and
maybe
mesh
some
of
that
scope
together,
where
it
makes
sense
for
those
other
possible
aggregation
sites
if
they
were
not
deemed
as
a
critical
facility
before
we
would
have
to
start
looking
at
those
lists
to
see
what
that
feasibility
is
in
particular
for
select
legos.
M
I
don't
recall
a
discussion
necessarily
about
outfitting,
that
space.
B
During
this
meeting
I
do
you
remember
the
conversation
that
we
had
and
I
I
want
to
say
it
was
nse.
I
remember
council,
member
davis
was
there,
so
maybe
it
was
t
e.
This
was
back
in
the
wing
pre-covid
where
we
talked
about
mass
shelter
sites,
because
my
concern
is
that
we're
looking
at
warming
and
cooling,
which
is
great,
we
should
but
we're
really
not
connecting
the
dots
with
a
true
mass
shelter
in
some
kind
of
larger
disaster.
O
Thank
you
for
the
question
councilmember.
As
far
as
that
kip
arnis
deputy
city
manager,
emergency
operations
center
director,
at
the
moment,
it's
we
are
just
now
in
the
process
of
reactivating
some
of
the
plants
that
were
put
on
pause
during
covid.
One
of
those
plants
is
specifically
around
mass
care
and
sheltering
and
I've
I've
just
made
a
note
to
make
sure
as
we
go
back
and
restart
that
plan,
that
that
includes
the
electrical
generation
needs
and
linkage
in
with
this,
it
would
have
included
in
any
case
how
we
would
power
it
up.
O
Typically,
a
lot
of
that
sheltering
will
be
built
rapidly
in
open
fields
and
places
like
that,
where
you
have
a
high
quality
tents
and
portable
facilities
that
are
put
up
very
rapidly,
but
it's
a
good
connector.
I've
just
made
a
note
to
make
sure
that,
as
we
reopen
that
piece
of
work
that
we
explicitly
look
at
the
power
aspects
of
it
and
and
loop
in
walter
and
the
public
works
team
on
that
is
appropriate.
So
thank
you
for
that
catch
and
reminder.
B
Thanks
kip
appreciate
that
and
and
the
reason
I'm
keep
poking
at
that
is
because,
if
we
had
a
big
earthquake
tomorrow
knock
on
wood,
that
these
would
be
things
that
would
consume
our
time
and
energy
and
and
the
the
sheltering
periods
would
be
very
long
right
because
there'd
be,
who
knows
what
infrastructure
would
be
left
and
where
so,
anyway,
all
right!
Thank
you!
That's
it
for
me.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
esparza.
I
just
want
to
clarify
walter
the
the
recommendations
for
roosevelt
community
center
and
happy
hollow
that's
going
to
come
through
the
budgets,
the
budget
process.
That's
not
part
of
this
report
exactly
is
that
correct.
A
And
tell
me,
is
this
so
I
understand
we
need
more,
more
in-depth
review
before
we
do
that
are.
Are
you
saying
that
you're
going
to
go
through
the
but
make
the
budget
request
for
this
next
fiscal
year,
and
then
I'm
I'm?
Is
there
going
to
be
some
kind
of
rfp
process?
Are
we
going
to
do
a
ppa
model,
or
are
we
going
to
try
to
do
something
different
than
that.
M
It
could
be
a
combination
of
all
those
councilmember
davis,
so,
yes,
with
the
money
already
budgeted,
it
is
making
the
request
to
use
that
budget
in
the
proposed
budget
cycle.
M
After
we
do
decide
to
move
forward,
it
would
have
to
be
a
competitive
process
just
based
on
how
this
is
going
to
line
up
as
a
public
work,
construction
project
itself
and
the
dollar
threshold,
it
would
mean
going
out
to
bid
and
making
the
a
competitive
award
that
way.
L
L
M
Yeah
sorry,
so
thanks
matt
and
councilmember
davis,
so
par
purchase
agreements.
They
could
be
lower
initial
capital
costs
because
there
is
no
capital
cost
necessarily
for
us.
There
is
still
heavy
work,
though,
on
the
staffing
side,
because
we
are
involved
in
the
design
process,
the
engineering
process.
All
of
the
reviews.
M
We
then
look
at
the
bid
and
award
aspect,
the
permitting
inspection,
everything
but
the
actual
cost
of
the
equipment
that
is
still
borne
by
the
contractor,
as
well
as
all
operations
and
maintenance.
So
there
is
a
overall
lower
capital
cost.
Traditionally,
with
going
with
a
power
purchase,
agreement,
you're,
correct.
A
L
Yeah,
we'll
evaluate
that
a
little
bit
more.
I
had
assumed
on
these
that
we
had
already
decided
internally,
but
I
bet
that
it
would
be
more
cost
effective
just
to
own
it
and
not
do
a
ppa,
but
I
will
revisit
that
assumption,
and
I
me
I
may
be
wrong
in
that,
so
we'll
absolutely
council
member,
evaluate
the
pros
and
cons
and
costs
and
benefits
of
each
each
method.
Before
we
proceed
with
the
actual
projects.
M
Walter,
that's
a
great
question
too.
I
don't
think
we've
gone
too
far
down
the
path
of
how
we
administer
that
scope
and
that
bid.
I
guess
there
are
avenues
where
we
can
consider.
You
know
the
bundled
project
together
and
seeing
what
types
of
financial
strategies
the
contractor
or
the
developer
may
bid,
whether
it's
outright
purchase,
ppa
or
other
strategic
aspects,
whether
it's
one
at
a
time
we're
bundled
we'll
have
to
make
that
consideration
again.
M
But
you
bring
an
interesting
question:
councilmember
davis,
you
know
whether
there's
advantages,
maybe
economies
of
scale
as
well.
Looking
at
a
bundled
approach.
A
Well,
yeah-
and
I
I
mean
you
took
a
lot
of
pains
walter
during
your
presentation
to
say
how
new
this
is
and
and
how
kind
of
exploratory
we're
we
are.
So
why
not
be
exploratory
with
our
rfps
and
not
if,
if
everything
is
so
new,
what's
the
likelihood
of
going
through
just
the
roosevelt
community
center,
for
example,
and
then
having
a
process
come
out
of
that
that
we
that
we
want
to
set
in
stone
going
forward
for
all
of
our
microgrid
projects.
A
So
maybe
it
makes
sense
to
be
a
little
bit
more
nimble
with
the
way
that
we
go
about
this,
so
that
we're
open
to
getting
getting
the
best
projects
for
for
the
dollars
that
we
have
available
right
now
and
not
making
you
know
not
making
the
goal
of
having
a
process
set
in
stone,
be
at
the
expense
of
you
know,
dollars
of
of
these
ppa
arrangements
and
and
those
kinds
of
things
where
things
might
shift
over
time
I
mean
we.
A
We
did
this
with
our
smart
controllers,
right
with
the
street
lights,
where
we
we
started
out
with
a
pilot.
We
didn't
that
that
particular
vendor
wasn't
really
able
to
deliver.
Then
we
had
to
go
back
and
we've
kind
of
done
done
it
in
a
few
different
ways,
but
always
kind
of
I
think
we
maybe
and
kit
might
disagree
with
me
on
this.
A
I
think
we
always
expected
at
each
step
that
that
the
the
person
we
were
dating
was
the
person
we
were
gonna
marry
and
we
maybe
didn't
didn't,
allow
for
a
little
flexibility
of
like
well
we're
gonna
date
around
a
little
bit
keeps
smiling
he's,
not
saying
anything.
So
I
don't
know
if
he
agrees
with
me
or
not,
but
I
think
that
we
should,
if
we're,
if
we're
doing
this-
and
we
know
it's
exploratory,
then
let's,
let's
put
it
out
like
we're,
going
to
be
dating
around
not
that
we're
looking
to
get
married.
M
M
Yeah,
that's
a
solid
approach
to
customer
davis
because
also
with
any
type
of
technology.
You
know
down
the
road.
It
tends
to
get
better,
it
tends
to
get
cheaper
and
it
tends
to
get
smaller,
which
are
all
aspects
that
we
want
for
our
facilities,
especially
for
space
constraints
and
budget
constraints
as
well.
So
maybe
looking
at
the
first
project
or
so,
as
maybe
our
pilot
learning
from
that
and
then
really
developing
a
process
moving
forward
on
what
works
but
didn't
work.
M
We
can
enhance
and
then
kind
of
get
that
moving
and
maybe
by
then
the
technology
has
gotten
better
for
us
and
we're
always
then
at
the
availability
of
the
most
state
of
the
art
that's
available
at
that
time.
A
A
micro
grid
that
that
takes
up
a
thousand
square
feet
is
not
going
to
be
that
big
of
a
deal
at
happy
hollow,
but
but
certainly
at
the
smaller,
the
smaller
spaces
that,
as
you
say,
that
can
wait
for
the
technology
to
catch
up
and
get
and
get
smaller
to
that
kind
of
to
that
question
or
that
that
point.
A
What
is
the
percent
of
power
usage
of
this
site
that
the
that
these
projects
are
meant
to
cover?
So
we
talked
about
the
the
generators
right
now
at
some
sites,
just
power,
the
doors
and
the
bells,
and
and
they
don't
power
everything
I
know
when,
when
you're
talking
about
a
generator
for
your
home,
you
don't
expect
to
to
be
able
to.
You
know,
surf
the
net
and
and
have
all
the
lights
on
in
your
house
and
have
your
ac
running
and
all
of
that.
So
what's
the
percentage
that
we're
targeting.
M
It
depends
so
that's
where
it
creates
a
customized
energy
audit
for
each
site,
so,
for
example,
for
a
pump
station,
whether
it's
storm
or
sani,
it's
almost
100
of
those
needs.
I
mean
outside
of
any
emergency
lighting,
for
staff
to
work
in.
You
need
everything
running
just
to
get
that
pump
station
going
fire
stations,
probably
very
similar
if
we're
looking
at
24
7
365
operations
and
the
existing
handheld
generators
aren't
cutting
it
per
se.
M
We
know
that
those
are
living
units
for
the
firefighters
at
those
locations
and
if
kitchens
restrooms
bathrooms,
the
bedrooms
are
all
needed,
that's
something
to
consider
for
the
other
sheltering
sites
that
that
is
a
good
question.
Whether
everything
needs
to
be
powered
at
those
locations.
Is
it
just
the
multi-purpose
room?
Is
it
just
the
restrooms?
Is
it
just
kitchens
per
se?
Is
it
just
emergency
lighting
on
the
exterior
parking
lot
lighting?
That's
the
evaluation
that
we
need
to
do
to
isolate.
M
A
Okay,
yeah,
I'm
I'm
interested
to
to
hear
more
about
that
as
you
as
you
go
on,
because
I
mean
just
just
for
my
own
plan,
like
emergency
planning
purposes,
we
don't
expect
to
be
able
to
use
our
kitchen.
We
just
expect
to
be
able
to
use
our
grill
right,
and
so
we
don't
if
the
refrigerator
is
working.
That's
that's
golden!
You
want
that
right!
You
want!
A
You
want
the
fridge
to
keep
working,
but
you
don't
necessarily
need
everything
in
the
kitchen
to
be
working
right
so
that
it
even
goes
deeper
into
kind
of
essential
like
we
can
make
sandwiches
whatever
we
don't
have
to.
We
don't
have
to
power
our
stove
and
the
oven
and
in
the
microwave,
for
example,.
M
A
N
D
A
K
Absolutely
good
afternoon
everybody
chair
davis,
council
members
and
members
of
the
public.
This
is
our
quarterly
report
on
transportation
activities
throughout
the
region.
These
are
our
major
projects
with
partners
like
the
valley,
transportation
authority,
caltrans
caltrain,
the
metropolitan
transportation
commission
and,
like
today,
high-speed
rail.
Today
we
have
two
items
on
the
agenda
and
four
speakers.
K
Before
we
continue
I'll
just
point
out
for
the
members
of
the
committee
and
the
public
that
this
quarter,
we
also
have
a
written
report
that
includes
these
two
projects,
as
well
as
all
of
the
other
major
projects
that
we're
working
on
with
our
partners.
So
I'd
point
everybody
to
that.
That's
an
annual
written
report
and
these
are
quarterly
verbal
presentations
with
powerpoints
all
right
with
that,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
zaheer.
Thank
you.
Q
Thank
you
jessica
and
good
afternoon,
chair
davis
committee
members
and
members
of
the
public.
Again,
my
name
is
zuhio
gozada
division
manager,
leading
the
grants
and
project
delivery
teams.
Before
I
hand
it
off
to
neil,
I
wanted
to
provide
a
summary
of
the
goals
of
the
regional
highway
project
delivery
program.
Q
Our
first
goal
is
to
modernize
our
existing
infrastructure,
while,
while
ensuring
that
our
projects
are
consistent
with
our
general
plan
goals
and
policies,
second,
is
to
provide
a
safe,
direct
connection
between
communities
and
businesses
divided
by
freeways.
We
achieved
this
by
designing
interchanges
or
safe
direct
multimodal
crossings,
reconnecting
these
communities.
Q
Third,
to
provide
a
safe
connection
to
our
trails
and
major
by
my
major
biped
corridors
within
our
communities.
This
could
include
separated
biped
elements
along
the
interchange
to
eliminate
conflict
points
for
pedestrians,
cyclists.
The
top
picture
is
a
good
example
showing
the
separated
pedestrian
loop
at
the
us-101
trimble,
interchange
project
currently
under
construction.
Q
R
Thanks
a
year
again,
neil
ong
senior
engineer
leading
the
efforts
on
the
mayberry
berryessa
oakland
project.
The
project
team
also
includes
associate
engineer
joe
nguyen
and
engineer
k
rouen
first,
some
project
background
for
those
not
familiar
with
the
project.
This
project
has
a
long
history
with
it
first
being
proposed
in
the
late
80s
early
90s,
however,
due
to
other
regional
and
city-wide
priorities,
along
with
funding
constraints,
the
project
candidate
in
advance,
beyond
preliminary
studies.
R
We
also
have
multimodal
goals
with
regional
bike
plans
and
the
berryessa
multimodal
transportation
improvement
plan
with
the
expected
growth
in
the
area.
There
is
also
an
expected
increase
of
congestion
to
occur
on
local
roadways
and
existing
interchanges
that
will
need
to
be
improved.
Therefore,
we
see
this
as
a
critical
time
to
advance
this
project.
R
R
We
also
want
to
reduce
congestion
on
our
local
streets
caused
by
both
the
indirect
routes
from
the
mentioned
interchanges,
as
well
as
planned
developments
and
projected
future
growth
occurring
with
the
project
area.
Lastly,
we
want
to
fill
in
the
existing
bike,
pedestrian
gaps
and
provide
better
facilities.
That's
currently
missing
in
the
area.
R
So
what
are
we
proposing
for
this
project?
Originally
the
proposed
project
to
construct
an
interchange
at
mayberry?
However,
during
preliminary
studies,
we
had
identified
challenges
within
the
project
area,
which
made
us
reassess
and
look
at
the
whole
mayberry
berryessa
oakland
corridor,
rather
than
just
focusing
on
one
spot.
R
This
led
us
to
study
a
new
interchange
location
at
berryessa
instead
of
mayberry,
as
seen
on
the
graphic.
This
also
includes
partially
or
fully
closing
the
existing
oakland
road
interchanges
on
and
off
ramps,
as
marked
with
the
red
asterisk,
due
to
its
close
proximity
with
the
heavily
congested
880
101
interchange
in
terms
of
biped
elements.
R
R
We
also
conducted
a
public
scoping
meeting
back
on
january
19th,
so
the
next
step
is
the
environmental
phase,
which
includes
doing
technical
studies
and
then
summarizing
our
findings
and
addressing
the
comments
from
the
public
in
an
environmental
document.
This
will
take
us
to
spring
2025
for
completion
of
the
environmental
phase.
R
R
As
part
of
the
environmental
study,
we
will
be
studying
multiple
topics
as
seen
on
the
screen.
In
addition,
as
I
mentioned,
we
had
our
public
scoping
meeting,
which
we
had
a
lot
of
participation
from
the
public,
while
most
questions
and
comments
were
concentrated
on
the
design.
We
also
had
comments
and
questions
pertaining
to
traffic,
community
property
and
constructed
related
impacts.
R
While
it
is
still
too
early
to
determine
the
full
impacts
of
each
topic
from
the
project.
As
we
perform
the
technical
studies
and
complete
the
environmental
document,
we
will
be
ensuring
that
all
comments
and
questions
are
addressed
and
if
there
are
any
impacts
caused
by
our
project,
we
will
determine
and
note
the
necessary
mitigations
as
the
project
progresses.
R
C
Thank
you,
neil
and
good
afternoon
committee
members.
My
name
is
boris
lipkin,
I'm
the
northern
california,
regional
director
with
the
california
high-speed
rail
authority
and
just
to
give
a
quick
update
on
our
you
just
heard
about
the
beginning
of
an
environmental
clearance
process
and
I'll
give
an
update
on
the
closing
end
of
a
environmental
clearance
process.
So
you
can
go
the
next
slide.
Please
thank
you.
So,
for
those
following
the
project
we'll
know,
we've
split
up
the
statewide
system
into
individual
project
sections
covering
portions
of
the
system.
C
The
one
that
runs
through
san
jose
is
part
of
our
san
jose
merced
project
section
connecting
us
from
the
berry
all
the
way
to
the
central
valley
where
we
have
already
completed
environmental
clearance
and
are
under
construction.
C
So
for
this
project
section
we
published
our
draft
environmental
document
back
in
2020
and
we've
published
a
revised
or
supplemental
draft
environmental
document
last
year,
focused
on
mountain
lion
and
monarch
butterfly
changes
in
in
listing
under
the
endangered
species
acts
of
california
in
the
united
states.
In
total,
we
received
roughly
five
thousand
comments
on
about
750
submissions
from
folks
about
500
of
those
being
a
form
letter
that
we
got
and
we're
now
preparing
to
release
the
final
environmental
document
which
we
expect
to
publish
on
february
25th.
C
So
a
few
couple
fridays
from
from
this
friday
and
then
ultimately
we'll
bring
that
to
our
board
of
directors
for
their
consideration
at
their
two-day
board
meeting
on
april
20th
and
21st
on
the
way
we
will
hold
another
round
of
our
community
working
group
meetings.
So
I'll
just
highlight
that
our
san
jose
community
working
group
will
meet
march
9th
at
6
00
pm
next
slide.
Please!
C
So
just
as
a
reminder,
this
section
is
roughly
almost
90
miles
in
length
in
total,
stretching
from
scott
boulevard
in
santa
clara
through
dierdon
station
down
to
south
santa
clara
county
and
gilroy,
and
then
across
pacheco,
pass
again
connecting
to
the
central
valley,
the
preferred
alternative
that
we
had
identified
in
the
draft
environmental
document,
and
that
will
be
remain.
The
perfect
alternative
for
the
final
is
alternative.
C
Four,
it's
the
purple
line
on
the
map
and
what
this
would
do
is
extend
the
blended
system,
which
is
us
sharing
tracks
on
an
electrified
corridor
with
caltrain,
which
currently
ends
in
san
jose
all
the
way
down
to
to
gilroy
before
turning
east
and
including
two
tunnel
sections
across
the
pacheco
pass.
C
Next
slide,
please
and
again,
just
as
a
reminder,
the
our
board
identified
that
as
the
preferred
alternative
back
in
2019,
and
this
is
while
there's
a
lot
behind
the
analysis
of
of
the
alternatives.
Just
at
the
very
summary
level.
The
preferred
alternative
had
the
fewest
displacements.
Of
course,
using
the
existing
rail
corridor
means
we're
impacting
fewer
other
other
facilities
or
businesses
or
residences
fewest
impacts
on
wetlands
habitats
and
natural
resources.
C
For
many
of
the
similar
reasons,
it
is
a
little
bit
slower
so
that,
of
course,
matters
for
us
on
the
high
speed
rails
side,
but
it
does
also
allow
for
the
extension
of
electrified
caltrain
service
to
south
san
jose
and
south
santa
clara
county,
which
is
the
only
alternative
out
of
the
four
that
would
allow
for
that
which
has
been
a
long-term
goal
for
many
of
those
communities
and
something
that
we're
very
much
supportive
of,
and
it
helps
form
the
foundation
for
some
of
our
work
around
durodan
station
as
well.
C
Next
slide,
please
and
again
trying
to
summarize
5
000
comments
in
one
slide.
Of
course,
we
received
comments
on
a
variety
of
different
topics
across
the
environmental
document.
C
This
is
meant
just
to
be
a
quick
snapshot
of
them
in
response,
we've
modified
added
analysis,
revised
things
between
the
draft
and
the
final
we've
added
mitigations
and
and
made
additional
changes
to
mitigations
that
we
have
already
proposed
in
the
draft.
Of
course,
the
city
commented
and
we've
met
with
dot
staff,
to
review
the
responses
to
those
comments
and
and
modifications
and
then
as
a
little
bit
of
a
preview,
for
I
think
you're
about
to
hear
from
from
brian
directly
about
it.
C
But
we've
also
been
working
with
city
staff
on
an
mou
to
sort
of
put
the
final
environmental
document
a
little
bit
of
context
around
with
other
things,
going
around
deer
down
station
and
around
planning
for
great
separations
in
monterey
corridor
and
so
sort
of
helping
to
connect
all
the
pieces
that
we
have
moving
around
the
rail
corridor
into
something.
That's
a
little
bit
easier
to
understand
all
the
roles,
responsibilities,
how
it
all
aligns
and
how
we
all
work
together
on
advancing
all
of
that
program.
C
S
The
mou
will
lay
out
areas
of
agreement,
priorities
for
future
work
and
the
roles
and
responsibilities
of
each
agency
in
some
of
these
areas.
These
include
both
agencies,
commitment,
shared
commitments
to
continuing
to
advance,
both
the
high-speed
rail
program
and
the
darion
integrated
station
effort.
S
High
speed
rail
high
spirals
environmental
justice
commitments
in
their
final
eir,
including
community
improvements,
above
and
beyond
the
environmental
mitigations,
to
offset
potential
disproportionate
impacts
and,
as
shown
in
the
slide,
some
of
these
improvements
will
span
the
quarter.
Others
will
be
targeted
at
specific
sites
at
darion
station
high
speed,
in
addition
to
the
integrated
station
planning.
S
Finally,
in
the
monterey
road
grade,
separations
high-speed
rail
will
be
adding
flexibility
in
their
eir
to
allow
their
commitments
to
both
their
environmental
mitigations
and
their
community
improvements
to
be
shifted
as
financial
contributions
towards
great
separations
along
monterey.
S
In
return
that
the
city
would
take
the
lead
on
continue
on
furthering
planning
for
planning
design
and
environmental
clearance
for
grade
separations
along
monterey,
road
and
responsibility
for
finding
the
rest
of
the
funding
for
great
separations
beyond
the
high-speed
rail
potential
high-speed
rail
contribution
towards
this
city
applied
last
november,
for
a
7.5
million
federal
grant
to
advance
grade
separations
through
coin
design,
permanent
design
and
environmental
clearance,
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
back
to
deputy
director
zane.
K
A
Thank
you.
I
was
just
going
to
ask
and
before
I
forget
jessica
and
brian
I'd,
like
a
briefing
on
that
before
it
goes
to
the
full
council,
we'll
go
to
members
of
the
public
first
for
comment.
Tessa.
H
Thank
you
very
much,
chair
davis,
you're
doing
a
good
job
of
coordinating
this
meeting.
Tessa
woodmancy,
I
guess
the
issue
with
our
roads
are
very
frustrating
to
me
as
we
face
well
the
main
issue.
Of
course,
the
thing
we
have
to
always
talk
about
is
our
climate
crisis,
but
what's
happening
on
our
roads
in
terms
of
our
we're,
calling
it
a
manslaughter
that
right
now
there's
been
12
people
that
died
on
our
roads
and.
H
What
we're
you
know,
on-ramps
or
whatever's
happening
at
berryessa
and
mayberry,
and
it's
the
deal
with
the
on
ramps
and
it's
dealing
with
our
money's
going
towards
improving,
quote
unquote
our
freeway
system,
and
that
has
got
to
stop
and
that's
where
all
of
our
monies
need
to
go
to
make
our
streets
safe
for
pedestrians
and
for
bicyclists,
and
the
reason
is
that
the
what's
happening
in
reality,
just
look
up
as
you'd
say,
is
that
you
know
we
are
on
the
verge
of
going
extinct
along
with
the
six
million
other
species
or
we're
in
the
sixth
mass
extinction,
the
rest
of
all
species
online
on
on
earth.
H
So
the
ones
that
I
want
to
save
are
the
bicyclists
and
the
pedestrians,
because
those
are
the
good
people
and
the
ones
that
are
in
their
cars
are
the
ones
that
are
bringing
us
to
the
devastation
that
we're
facing
right
now,
and
so
I
have
no
interest
in
putting
any
money
towards
that.
Even
the
public
transportation
is
that's
what
my
husband
as
a
biologist,
is
saying
now
he's
rethinking.
A
Thank
you
next
speaker
phone
number
ending
in
8357.
O
Yeah,
just
I
guess
so,
I
was
hoping
for
some
clarification.
First,
I
guess
kudos
to
any
pedestrian
and
bicycling
improvements.
Specifically
around
the
highways.
There
was
mention
for
the
berryessa
project
that
they
were
gonna.
Add
a
lane
in
the
map
hold
on
ahead,
just
screenshot
it
yeah.
So
it
looks
like
there's
gonna,
be
an
added
lane
on
commercial
and
heading,
hopefully
that's
not
for
cars,
because
that
would
kind
of
negate
the
whole
purpose
of
this.
O
In
addition
to
that,
I
was
curious
if
y'all
are
connecting
to
the
indian
health
center
to
get
some
feedback.
For
you
know
this
whole
concept
project
they
likely
have
a
very
large
community.
That
would
provide
excellent
feedback
for
this.
O
If
there
is
going
to
be
an
added
lane,
I
would
implore
you
all
to
consider
e,
like
electric
bicycles,
scooters
or
things
of
that
nature,
to
be
the
lane
that
is
added,
so
that
there
is
a
possibility
of
faster
moving
people-powered
machines
as
well
as
the
you
know,
slower
ones,
for
people
that
are
maybe
recreating
going
to
the
flea
market
or
you
know
just
kind
of
exploring
around
the
neighborhood.
O
P
You're,
never
gonna
have
enough
money
to
do
this
or
to
keep
it
going.
People
are
working
from
home.
Now
I
don't
think
the
city,
the
county,
the
state,
the
federal
government,
realizes
how
expensive
it
is
to
have
high-speed
rail
101s
need
to
be
widely
widened
for
a
long
time,
doesn't
need
electric
scooters
or
anything
like
that
right.
You
don't
need
that.
P
You
need
more
space
for
cars,
I
hate
to
say
it,
but
people
still
use
them
and
if
you
really
think
you're
going
to
integrate
a
mass
transit
system,
you
have
another
thing
coming,
because
you
can't
even
get
the
buses
right
with
with
vta,
not
enough
drivers,
not
enough
people
try
to
take
a
bus
from
downtown
back
to
where
I
live.
The
other
day
disaster
I
called
up.
Vta
people
are
nice,
but
they're
like
we
don't
have
any
drivers.
P
You
know
you're
gonna
have
to
wait
45
minutes
whatever
no
big
deal,
so
I
wasn't
in
a
hurry,
but
I
don't
think
you
realize
if
you
want
to
have
an
integrated
system,
you
need
to
move
to
madrid,
spain,
where
I
used
to
live
and
use
their
mass
transit
system
there,
and
then
you
could
figure
it
out
from
there.
But
you'll
never
do
that,
because
the
people
here
in
this
town
are
still
picking
prunes.
P
Really
it's
a
true
story.
You
don't
know
what
you're
doing
here
you're
out
of
your
league.
I
don't
care
how
much
money
mayor,
pete's,
gonna,
dump
on
you
guys.
It's
not
gonna,
be
enough
and
it's
gonna
be
a
disaster
project.
I
I'll
tell
you
what
keep
doing
what
you're
doing.
I
look
forward
to
the
boondoggle.
P
I
look
forward
to
the
budget
shortfall
you're
not
going
to
have
enough
riders
you're
not
going
to
have
enough
money
from
from
the
from
the
riders
not
getting
enough
money
from
the
government
because
it's
going
to
eventually
dry
up
and
and
what
you
know
what
it
costs
to
do.
This
is
unbelievable.
You
want
to
use
high-speed
rail,
we
had
it
in
europe,
it
was
very
nice,
it
was
very
expensive
too.
It
wasn't
cheap
right,
it's
not
it's,
not
free
and,
as
you
can
see,
the
high
speed
rail
for
the
whole
st.
J
All
right,
rob
beekman
here
thanks
a
lot
for
this
item,
to
try
to
help
tess
out
a
bit
and
I'll
to
comment
on
edgar's
words.
So
thank
you
for
edgar's
words.
I
think
he
was
trying
to
say
something
what
tesla
was
trying
to
say.
I
think
tesla
is
trying
to
also
note
the
importance
of
a
pedestrian
and
and
bicycle
lanes
that
are
needed
also,
besides
the
scooter
lanes.
J
So
good
luck
on
these
issues
and
what
can
be
you
know,
a
lot
of
there's
can
be
a
lot
of
things
to
talk
on
with
this
issue
with
such
a
memo.
So
thank
you
for
your
time
to
speak
to
the
high-speed
rail
issues.
It's
my
hope
that
you
know
that
we've
been
talking
with
mtc
more
here
in
san
jose
area
and
getting
them
involved
with
the
project
that
we're
learning
the
ideas
of
what
can
be
openness
and
accessibility
for
the
process.
Public
accessibility,
those
are
important
concepts
that
I
you
know.
J
We
want
the
project
so
badly
here
in
san
jose.
We
are
willing
to
not
be
open
and
clear
about
what
are
our
choices
around
the
entire
bay
area
and
and
and
california
for
the
future
of
this
project.
There's
a
real
chance
that
you
know,
there's
choices
from
merced
how
it
will
go
into
sacramento
eventually.
Is
that
through
turlock
or
will
it
go
through
tracy
if
we
go
be
tracy?
That
brings
up
the
ideas
of
creating
a
say,
a
part
system
that
can
go
from
dublin
into
tracy
and
that's
an
interesting
concept.
J
The
rail
system
they're
currently
working
on,
I
find
questionable
for
the
tri-valley
area
there.
We
should
be
openly
talking
about
these
things
more
and
not
hiding
things
and
wanting
things
to
go.
Only
our
way
and
all
options
can
be
open
and
available.
J
Let's
talk
about
the
future
of
high-speed
realty
tracy
moore,
where
there's
not
homes
there,
it's
much
easier
to
build.
Why
don't
we
talk?
Why
is
that
so
confusing
to
talk
about,
because
san
jose
has
a
vested
interest
to
work
it
only
through
merced
to
san
jose.
E
Hi,
thank
you.
I
wanted
to
mention
two
things
I'll
try
to
figure
this
in,
but
I
saw
the
flea
market
listed
up
there
in
various
and
I
just
walked
through
the
flea
market
on
the
weekend
and
just
the
sense
of
history.
There
was
quite
wonderful,
I
know
what's
going
on
is,
is
challenging
and
and
going
to
happen,
but
I
wanted
to
ask
about
the
trees.
E
I
can't
find
there's
a
lot
of
large
oak
trees
on
that
property
and
I
just
wanted
to
find
out
more
about
those
before
the
development,
but
the
links
are
not
working
on
the
city
website.
They
say
that
these
links
for
this
project
are
not
accessible.
So
that's
one
thing
I
just
want
to
let
you
know,
because
I
wanted
to
find
out
what
was
going
to
happen
to
those
larger
trees
and
then.
E
Secondly,
the
displacement
issue
was
listed
in
the
report
for
the
high-speed
rail
project,
and
I
know
a
lot
of
people
probably
chimed
in
on
that.
E
When
we
have
these
big
projects,
we
need
a
fund,
a
fund
that
actually
can
either
help
them
to
move
out
of
this
expensive
area
help
them.
You
know,
go
from
roof
to
roof.
That's
what
I
always
say
the
in-between
is
where
a
portion
of
our
homeless
come
from
when
they
are
displaced
by
anything
it
doesn't
matter
what
kind
of
development
it
is.
That's
just
simply
something
we
can't
tolerate.
E
A
Okay,
it's
not
working
sorry
you're
having
technical
issues
today
paul
we
will
go
back
to
the
council
council
member
esparza
thanks.
B
And
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
a
question
for
boris
or
jessica,
but
I
have
some
questions
around
mitigation
being
applied
to
the
seven
trees
area
of
district
7,
which
is
you
know,
monterey
capital
that
area.
So
can
I
get
some
clarification
on
that
now
or
should
we
take
that
offline.
C
Hi
councilmember,
maybe
I
can
jump
in
and
obviously
just
if
I
miss
anything,
please
add
in
as
well.
I
I
have
I
I
think
this
question
has
come
up
and
I,
if
we
haven't,
we
can
definitely
follow
up
with
your
office
about
specifics.
I
think
at
a
general
level,
what
I
remember
from
the
where
seven
trees
is
it's
a
little
bit
further
away
from
the
rail
corridor.
C
So
I
think
our
impacts
are
a
little
bit
less,
but
we
can
certainly
follow
up
with
you
on
on
the
specifics
in
that
area.
As
we
publish
the
final
environmental
document.
B
Yeah
and
I'd
love
to
coordinate
with
our
own
department
as
well.
Seven
trees
is
an
extremely
overcrowded
and
very
high
needs
part
of
the
community,
and
it
is
definitely
affected
by
things
that
happen
on
monterey,
road
and
so
would
love
to
have
that
conversation
later.
Thank
you.
That's
it
for
me
chair.
D
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
the
overview.
As
you
know,
the
101
mayberry
berryessa
project
is
really
important
to
the
northern
part
of
the
city
and
I'm
excited
to
see.
I
was
excited
to
see
the
moving
on
to
the
scoping
phase
last
month.
The
only
comment
question
I'll
make
it
probably
more
just
in
frustration
more
than
anything
else
that
you
know.
I
know
these
things
take
a
lot
of
time.
I
know
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
do
to
figure
out
exactly
how
this
is
going
to
work.
D
Only
one
member
of
this
committee
will
even
be
on
council
when
construction
starts
under
the
current
timeline.
So
you
know
any
I
I
don't
know
if
it's
really
a
question
I
want
answered,
but
obviously
that
eir
state
stage
takes
a
lot
of
three
years
and
I'm
just
always
curious
as
to
whether
there's
any
potential
shortening
the
timeline
available
and
then
my
second,
I
think
I
heard
you
say
jessica
that
we
shouldn't
ask
any
questions
about
funding
at
this
point.
K
Oh
well,
maybe
from
a
process
perspective,
you
can
always
ask
questions.
D
K
No,
so
I
think
one
of
the
things
is
that
sahir
and
neil
can
go
into
it
it
further.
K
The
environmental
process
is
part
of
where
we
look
at
the
alternatives
and
the
designs,
and
so
I
don't
recall,
saying
anything
specifically
about
the
funding,
but
if
I
did,
it
may
have
been
related
to
the
fact
that
we
won't
have
a
great
sense
of
the
final
dollar
amounts
right
right
now,
for
example,
what
we
used
in
our
application
for
measure
b
is
kind
of
the
highest
estimate
for
the
biggest
project
that
we
think
is
possible
right,
so
we'll
be
able
to
say
more
about
funding
needs
and
potential
yeah,
and
I
I
really
appreciate.
D
There's
a
lot
of
complexity
to
this.
It's
a
whole
area-wide
plan
and
we've
had
conversations
about
this
before
so
I
appreciate
the
amount
of
work
that
has
to
go
in
to
getting
it
ready,
and
I
think
I've
also
mentioned
this
before
that.
It's
important,
I
think,
to
think
about
the
phases
that
can
be
done
in
advance
if
certain
elements
are
identified.
Q
A
good
example
that
I'll
give
you
is
that
we've
been
for
the
last
two
years,
not
on
this
project,
but
on
our
xango
project.
We've
been
negotiating
with
caltrans
on
on
phasing
the
project
in,
so
that
we
could
do
exactly
what
you're
telling
her
saying,
which
is
to
build
some
of
these
elements
ahead
of
time
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that
with
this
project,
we're
gonna.
Q
We
have
a
uphill
battle
with
in
terms
of
the
process,
but
I
think
we
have
partners
that
we
can
work
with
that
can
make
it
a
reality.
We
just
need
to
work
with
them
and
get
the
things
that
we
have
identified
as
important
in
place.
So
certainly
we've
been
on
that
trajectory
without
without
hesitation
on
all
of
our
projects.
D
And
I
know
there's
obviously
a
funding
building
putting
together
the
funding
plan
is
going
to
be
part
of
that.
But
you
said
it's
the
worst
case
scenario
in
the
report:
that's
227
million
dollars
of
the
cost
of
the
project.
As
far
as
I
can
tell,
based
on
the
various
sources
of
revenue.
So
far,
there
might
be
about
60
to
70
currently
set
aside
for
the
project,
so
we're
still
far
short.
D
Do
we
have
a
feeling
of
of
how
that's
going
to
you
know
how
we're
going
to
be
able
to
piece
that
together
and
is
our
timeline
such
that
it's
going
to
be
too
late
for
some
of
the
infrastructure
money?
That's
that
the
federal
government
has
put
out
there.
Q
No,
I
I
can
take
that
question
jessica
at
this
point,
I
think
we're
right
on
kind
of
that,
cusp
of
with
the
federal
infrastructure
money
and
the
regulations
coming
out
in
the
process
of
how
to
attain
that
funding,
we're
we're
in
line
with
this
project.
I
think
the
the
high
estimate
is
just
to
to
make
sure
that
we
put
a
number
out
there.
That
is
representative
of
worst
case
scenario
here,
but
again
we
work
back
and
we
really
look
at.
Q
For
instance,
the
biggest
cost
is
usually
the
right
of
way,
so
so
that
impact
we
want
to
minimize
as
much
as
we
can
not
only
because
of
the
cost,
but
because
it
does
disrupt
folks
lives
in
in
some
cases.
So
we
look
at
this
in
in
very
serious
manner,
whether
it's
the
process,
whether
it's
the
budget
but
in
terms
of
the
funding.
Q
While
we
do
have
some
funding
right
now,
moving
the
project
into
the
environmental
phase,
we
anticipate
working
with
our
partners
with
to
get
as
much
of
our
funding
for
this
project
and
some
of
the
other
ones
from
the
new
federal
infrastructure
bill.
In
fact,
we
are,
I
think,
we're
in
a
perfect
spot
at
this
point,
given
the
project
schedule
now,
these
fundings
do
take
a
long
time
to
come
down
as
well.
D
That's
good
to
hear
I
you
know.
Obviously
that's
this
is
important,
show
point
101
880
and
I,
even
though
this
isn't
directly
addressing
101
880.
I
think
that
the
it
is
true
that
that
those
open
road
ramps
are
a
big
problem
with
the
101
880
interchange,
and
this
could
make
a
big
difference
and,
of
course,
the
delicate
nature
of
trying
to
do
this
without
making
things
even
worse.
For
two
years
I
can
imagine,
is
quite
it
was
quite
a
challenge,
so
I
appreciate
all
of
that.
Q
D
I
will
say
this
isn't
actually
in
district
four,
it's
in
district
three,
but
it's
very
important
district
four,
so
I'll
be
I'll,
be
as
involved
as
necessary,
but
you
know
we'll
let
we'll
let
council,
member
paralysis
successor,
have
to
deal
with
the
hardest
parts
of
it.
That's
what
I'll
say.
No,
no,
no
I'll
be
I'll,
be
willing
to
help
as
much
as
possible.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
councilmember
cohen.
I
have
questions
about
high-speed
rail.
Unsurprisingly,
boris
knows
probably
knows
this
question
is
coming.
How
is
going
with
the
negotiations
with
up?
Because
all
of
this
talk
about
about
monterey,
road
and
great
separations,
don't
really
matter
if
we
don't
have
any
kind
of
right-of-way
access
south
obtaining.
C
It
has-
and
you
know,
union
pacific
is
challenging
and
and
as
you
know,
that
some
of
their
issues
that
I
think
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
new
opportunity
being
put
forward
through
the
governor's
budget
and
some
of
the
freight
investments
that
he's
proposing
around
the
state
which
up
is
very
keen
on,
and
so
there
is
a
little
bit
of
synergy
that
we
have
there.
You
know-
and
I
guess
the
other
are.
C
Not
directly,
the
calsta
obviously
is
in
a
very
deep
way,
because
some
some,
what
we're
talking
about
as
well
outside
of
our
agency's
purview.
I
mean
we're
very
focused
on
the
san
jose
gilroy
piece
of
this,
but
that's
not
the
only
piece
of
it
in
terms
of
the
san
jose
gilroy
piece,
you
know
up
is
very
well
aware
of
what
we're
proposing
there
and
I
don't
expect
them
to
raise
any
flags.
C
You
know
when
it
comes
to
approving
the
environmental
document
which,
if
we
weren't
in
the
well
advanced
in
the
process
of
this
negotiation,
they
would
because
that's
their
general
mo,
but
so
that's
what
I
have
for
you.
I
mean
it's,
it's
complicated
and
challenging,
and
but
this
is
an
important
step
in
allowing
all
of
that
to
take
to
to
happen-
and
you
know
yes,
there's
more
work
to
do,
there's
more
to
doing
a
lot
of
this
stuff.
C
A
Okay,
all
right,
thank
you
and
I'll
take
my
questions
about
the
mou
offline.
I
do
want
a
full
briefing
on
that
from
you,
jessica
and
brian.
I
will
have
many
more
detailed
questions,
but
it's
getting
late,
so
I'll
leave
those
for
later
councilmember
perales.
N
Yeah,
thank
you
and
just
one
question
and
doesn't
have
to
do
with
my
successor.
Customer
console
it's,
but
I
guess
everything
will
be
eventually
at
some
point
here.
So
the.
N
Yes,
yes,
so
the
vta
funds
that
were
reallocated
from
charcot
just
kind
of
curious
on
a
status
update
on
on
those
and
then
the
remaining
27.5
million
that
you
know
the
the
lobbying
efforts
that
we'll
have
on
those
just
kind
of
curious
and
if
there
is
no,
if
it's
too
early,
if
there's
no
report.
Yet,
if
staff
can
report
back
on
that
in
the
future.
K
Sure
absolutely
we
can
do
a
quick
version
today,
which
is
informational,
especially
for
the
public,
that
in
december
vta
moved
9.5
million
to
the
zanker
101
crossing
and
this
berryessa
mayberry
101
oakland
project,
so
to
those
two,
it
hasn't
been
divvied
up
between
the
two.
At
this
point
and
then,
similarly,
last
week
the
council
directed
that
any
of
our
transportation
impact
fee
or
tif
funds
that
the
city
had
which
are
about
3.9
million
remaining
for
the
sharkhop
project
would
similarly
be
redirected.
K
So
that
will
occur
through
the
budget
processes
and
then
we
are
also
charged
with
working
with
vta,
as
the
council
member
alluded
to
on
the
remaining
27.5
million
in
measure
b,
funds
that
had
already
previously
been
allocated
to
the
shark
project,
and
so
the
vta
staff
has
indicated
that
that
you
know
canon
should
be
reviewed
the
next
time
they
take
the
highway
program
forward
at
to
the
vta
board.
So
we
don't
have
a
date
for
that
at
this
point,
but
that
is
the
process
for
for
all
those
funding.
A
A
C
B
B
D
F
F
H
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
yeah.
I
guess
that
was
my
experience
in
going
to
the
campbell
farmer's
market,
because
we
don't
have
a
farmer's
market
that
accepts
the
ebt
in
our
community
at
our
rose
garden,
farmers,
market
or
the
willow,
glen
farmer's
market
and
there's
definitely
a
racist
issue
here,
and
so
that's
why
I
went
to
campbell
and
and
it's
very
crowded,
because
they're,
the
only
one
that
accepts
it
in
a
very
wide
area
and
that's
a
problem.
H
You
know
in
terms
of
our
covet
issues,
so
that
needs
to
be
fixed
in
terms
of
how
that
all
our
farmer's
markets
should
be
accepting
ebt,
which
is
the
food
stamps,
also
called
calfresh
and
anyway.
So
here
I
am
on
the
road
and
you
know
I
was
on
bascom.
That
was
terrible,
so
my
husband
recommended
lee
and
I
went
on
lee
and
that
was
nicer
nicer,
but
still
there's
a
lot
of
gaps.
You
know
and
campbell
is
much
better,
so
I
go
into
campbell.
H
I
have
bike
lanes,
especially
on
bascom,
but
you
know
that
I
don't
have
the
bike
lanes.
You
know
we're
not
getting
the
bike
lanes
and
there's
two
lanes
of
freeway
and
not
free,
well,
they're,
basically
freeway,
and
then
this
car
is
parked
on
the
side
and
no
place
for
the
for
the
bicycle
and
the
worst
place
that
that
happened
recently.
H
When
I
went
to
my
girlfriend's
house
in
santa
clara-
and
I
was
on
a
new
hall
and
newhall
and
scott
those
go
together,
and
I
don't
know
where
it
was,
it
was
san
jose
or
santa
clara,
but
these
type
of
divisions
have
to
go
away.
You
can't
have
one
city
have
a
bike
lane
and
then
none
and
then
then
again
I
mean
you
know
where
we
disappear
for
a
minute
and
then
we
come
back.
H
You
know
and
that's
the
thing
there's
that's
why
we
call
it
manslaughter
that
you
people
are
not
putting
the
money
and
the
resources
to
create
safe
streets
and
that's
why
we
have
12
dead
now
already
already
in
the
first
month
of
the
year,
and
you
know
you're
not
making
the
changes
of
zero.
You
know
the
vision,
zero
and
and
our
roads
aren't
safe
and
we
have
these
corridors
like
the
alameda,
and
you
know
where
there's
not
there's
no
bike
lanes
and
that's
bad.
J
Hi
blair
beekman
here,
thanks
for
the
meeting
today,
I
had
a
couple
items
to
go
over.
One
was
oh
just
a
reminder
that
you
know
with
all
the
law
enforcement
questions
we
new
questions.
We
have
at
this
time
and
the
use
of
alpr's
and
and
stuff.
J
You
know
we've
already
with
open
public
policies
and
accountability
and
that
the
fact
that
there
are
it
it
can
really
help
organize
and
define
our
practices
at
this
time
very
well
and
our
law
enforcement
questions,
and
with
so
much
you
know,
surveillance
technology
and
foreign
5g
technology
around
us
right
now.
It
can
just
simply
account
openness
and
accountability.
Practices
can
really
help
define
our
law
enforcement
questions
at
this
time.
J
It's
really
an
interesting
concept
that
I
hope
you're
wanting
to
look
into
more
and
understand
better,
and
it
can
help
organize
vision,
zero
ideas
as
well.
It's
our
better
civil
rights
and
civil
protection
practices
that
can
help
organize
our
law
enforcement
questions
at
this
time.
To
also
note
with
covet
issues,
you
know
we
we
want
to
say
we're
doing
good
things
with
the
science
of
the
vaccine
process,
but
yet
we're
not
learning
to
more
openly
talk
about
the
nanotechnology
involved
with
the
vaccine
process.
J
You
know
I've
been
keeping
asking
yourselves
to
learn
ways
to
act,
to
talk
more
openly
about
the
good
of
the
vaccine
process.
Let's
learn
to
talk
about
the
nanotechnology
itself,
and
that
makes
a
clear
conversation
available
and
it's
the
open
public
policies,
of
course,
with
technology
ideas.
I
work
on
that
can
help
have
a
neutral
conversation
about
these
things.
J
Quick
reminder
that
with
chsr
issues
that
oh,
I
have
14
seconds,
and
I
have
two
important
things
to
say:
oh
with
the
future
of
fuel
issues,
good
luck
on
how
we
can
fossil
fuels
don't
have
to
be
fully
relied
on.
We
can
renewables,
can
do
the
job
at
this
time.
Good
luck!
How
to
look
at.
P
Big
day
for
you,
people
tomorrow
and
a
vote
on
some
gun
control
issues,
you
know
gun
controls
and
in
piles
of
skulls
and
perales
man.
He
was
okay
with
charging
people
a
fee.
He
doesn't
have
to
pay
it
because
he's
a
cop
cops
are
exempt.
So
imagine
he's
like
hey.
It's
only
twenty
dollars,
I'll
tell
you
what
you
pay
the
twenty
dollars
for
the
people
perales.
P
Who
have
guns,
you
guys
can
use
this
new
atf
list,
hey
anytime,
the
atm's
involved.
You
can
always
make
sure
that
there's
a
pile
of
bodies
left
behind
innocent
victims
and
the
themselves
included
who's
going
to
enforce.
This,
too,
is
a
sjpd
gonna,
be
kicking
some
doors
in
you
know
with
a
you
know,
with
it,
with
their
swat
team
and
hey
deb,
your
your
your
park.
Over
there,
the
rose
garden
graffiti
city
start
cleaning
it
up.
It's
unbelievable
first
is
broken
windows.
P
After
two
years
you
guys
finally
fix
them
broken
fountain,
two
three
months.
Finally
fixed
now
graffiti.
You
better
pay
close
attention
to
that
park
because
that's
where
I
go
okay
and
I'm
a
taxpayer-
and
I
demand
my
parks
to
be
perfect,
because
the
park
police
also
demands
you
to
behave
perfectly.
You
know,
don't
fly
a
kite,
don't
have
a
beer,
don't
sit
at
a
picnic
bench,
don't
play
a
game
on
the
you
know,
don't
play
a
a
game
on
the
grass
right,
but
you
can
have
graffiti
broken
windows.
A
E
Thank
you
and
thank
you
for
council
member
deb
davis.
Thank
you
for
your
kindness
during
this
you've
been
really
helpful
to
members
that
are
having
trouble
today,
and
I
recognize
your
patience
and
I
thought
that
was
really
cool,
so
I
I
actually
wanted
to
mention
something
that
has
been
on
my
mind.
E
I
went
to
the
evergreen
farmers
market
and
what
a
lovely,
what
of
a
lovely
place
that
is,
and,
of
course,
on
the
corner,
to
be
able
to
see
the
library
to
be
able
to
then
go
to
the
market,
to
be
able
to
then
sit
on
a
bench.
Walk
your
dog,
get
your
food.
Have
a
cup
of
coffee
have
lunch,
I
mean
you
could
have
dinner,
you
could
do
it
all
right,
so
that
I
think,
is
what
the
plan
was
for.
E
So
many
of
these
ideas
about
you
know
mixed
jews,
walkable,
neighborhoods
and
then,
as
I
see
sb
330
going
in
and
we're
like,
we
got
to
get
this
affordable
housing
in
there
forget
the
commercial
component.
E
Underneath
you
know
that
really
bothered
me
I'm
trying
to
get
over
it
trying
to
move
past
it,
but
I
really
want
to
find
out
how
we
could
partnership
with
either
city,
as
you
look
at
your
budget
coming
up
partner
with
the
city
and
have
things
like
under
these
affordable
housing
complexes
that
are
going
up
just
community
spaces,
maybe
that
the
city's
council
member
in
that
particular
district
will
have
a
space
in
that
it's
very
hard
for
us
to
come
all
the
way
to
city
hall.
To
do
anything
if
you
want
to
get
a
permit.
E
Okay,
I
understand,
but
if
you
want
to
meet
with
your
council
person,
wouldn't
it
be
nice
to
be
able
to
go
into
you
know
your
council
members
smaller
kind
of
office,
maybe
two
people
districts
that
border
they
could
share
it
underneath
an
affordable
housing
project
and
the
city
could
subsidize
that
small
space.
We
really
need
to
be
thinking
about
building
with
children
in
mind
and
community
in
mind.
We
just
we're
going.
We
plan
on
having
this
big
big
growth.
